Should I wait until my birthday or pursue emancipation?
I'm 17 and my parents and I have had nasty fights on my "rights" for about 2 years. I have a job, a car, and a place to live. I believe all would be happier if I lived on my own. My parents have even suggested it, but when I brought it up to them they denied it. I turn 18 in December. Should I try and wait until my birthday or try for emancipation?

I am 17 years old and I have a 3 month old baby. I want to move in with my boyfriend. Can my parents have the police bring me home? I have asked to have them sign an empancipation document and they refuse. My boyfriend is 19. They told me they will have him arrested for statatory rape and kidnapping. I know this sounds extreme, but I do not doubt they will try. What rights, if any do I have. I do work 30 hours a week and I do not attend school. I plan to get my GED.
Can I get emancipated and take my brother with me?
Im 15 years, I live with my mom and dad. They've been married for a long time now and recently we found out my mom was seeing another man on the side and she has moved out leaving us with my dad who is an alcoholic. I want to get emancipated but I have a little brother who's 10 years old which I deny to leave without. I want to know if I can get emancipated and take my little brother with me without it being classified as child abduction?
