Emancipation of Minor

Can a seventeen year old move out of her parents house legally without her parents forcing her to return? I have a friend who is nineteen and she and I want to work and put our income into an apartment or house. What is required in order to get emancipated. Do my parents have to give permission to have me emancipated?

I am seventeen years old and am currently living with my parents. I am graduating from high school this year (a year early) and I'm considering filing for emancipation. I receive survivor benifits and my question is this, if I become emancipated will I still receive my survivor benifits. My mother and step father and very controling and some times abusive and won't take legal action if I leave but refuse to give up my survivor benifits. Can I force them to give them to me.

I with my sister am going to be filing for an emancipation of a minor, but my sister does not yet live separate from her mother. We are filing this under the advice of legal aid and CPS, in order to remove her from having to live with her mother because of severe emotional abuse. I was told it would be the quickest legal process we could use. My question is: Is it legal for my sister to begin living with me now, or will she have to legally remain at her mother's house? And if so, how can we legally file this petition?

I'm 16 years old, and I just found out that I’m pregnant. Now my mother is trying to do a lot so that I can’t talk to the baby’s father or see him. His mother wants me to live with them so that we can be good parents and not be separated. What do I have to do to get emancipated? And can I do it with out my parents approval, because the way things are going with my mother, I’m never going to be able to see him. And how long will it take?

My daughter, an 18 year old senior in high school, and is living at home. She enlisted in the Colorado National Guard upon her 18th birthday. Does that impact her status relating to child support, etc, under the Colorado Emancipation of Minors Laws?
