Hi i'm 16 I live in LV, NV i am engaged, my fiance's family is going to get a divorce and there mom wants me to go. Ill be a roomate and pay my part to stay im going to job fairs to get a job it'll probably be minimum wage 6.50 a hour. But she only wants me to pay 300 a month and i want to go so i could stay with my fiance. My parents dont want me to leave cause they like being my boss. They have let me move out once but to my dads, and i didnt want to cause he dont want me so i came back after so many months. So if i go in and show them 2 checks, and a letter from my roomate stating how much i got to pay and i welcome there. And that its summer now but when school starts im going to do insite a online school. Were thay send you a laptop and all the stuff its a free public school so i could work full-time. And for a reason if needed to stay with my fiance and to start my life now. So can anyone help me, or let me know what you think cause i really want to get emancipated and start my life with my fiance. I'm ready to start my life and will keep trying to get emancipated till i do.
Unless your parents are abusive or neglect to provide you with proper care, I highly doubt the courts would emancipate you. You need a more valid reason than "they like being my boss" for why you should be emancipated. They are your parents - of course they're going to act like your boss. As long as they are taking good care of you, whether you like it or not, they are your parents and have a say over your life.
Aaron, could you give us some examples of your parents' bossy behavior?
What have your parents said, if anything, about your quest to become emancipated?
Don't do it, Aaron. You "started" your life 16 years ago. I'm sure your fiance is great, but your plan sucks. Get involved in high school, graduate, then get some advanced education. When you have a good job, making $20+/hour, you can start a life with your fiance.
I know it's not what you want to hear, and you will most likely ignore any such advice, but I can't suggest anything else. If you follow through with this grand plan to be with your fiance, it'll be a mistake you'll regret for as long as you live.

I second that post.
I would also keep in mind, as hard as it may be to hear, just because you want to get married at 16 doesn't mean she is the girl for you. I'm sure all of us have dated that young and thought we would get married. It just doesn't happen that way. You have a lot of growing up to do still. Hell, I'm 25 and wouldn't dare get married yet.
The problem with getting your life 'started' now, and you will blow off and not believe anything I say so I will keep it short, is that what you want will change once you become an adult. What you want now will typically not be the same thing you want later in life. In today's times you want to do everything you can now while you are still under your parents' roof to prepare yourself for a successful future. Starting life with a minimum wage paying job and not completing high school (which is what will happen) is only preparing you for a life of hardships.

You are 16. They are your boss. You are a child and cannot make wise choices right now cause your brain is not fully developed yet. Good example of this is that you say you are engaged. You are a kid, a child, a minor.
A better plan would be to stay at home and save up some money working for a couple years. Dont get married until 18 so your legal in all states (to get housing etc). Think of staying at home as preparation of your work career (you know, the next 46 years). Most of us are not working because we like too, we are just trying to make money to afford a decent lifestyle. We try to like it, because we realized its not worth complaining about, and if it is, we need to get another job. Working for the man is not fun, and it stinks more at $6.50/hr. I make over $40/hr and would love to retire, but have another 20 years to grind out.
Last thing you want to do is move in with your (soon to be) wifes parents...just trust me on this one, it really curtails the fun in multiple ways. But you are 16, and know much more about the world than when you were 14. Maybe the same will hold when 18.
