I want to get emancipated from my mom how can i do that?

I want to get mansipated from my mom because she is a drunk and alcoholic and she goes out and makes me watch like 5 kids im 14 and I want to get as far away from her as possible I want to live with my friends mom how can I do that and what do I have...

to do?

emancipated you mean? That sucks, kudos to ya for watching 5 kids...I hate watching one...that's why I don't do it lol. But getting emancipated can be kinda hard. Talk to a lawyer or someone that works in law and ask them what you can go about doing. It doesn't cost anything, just tell them your situation and I'm sure they'll understand. Talk to your friend's mom first though that way she can help you too.
It shouldn't be that hard since your mom's an alcoholic. You probably wouldn't even need to get emancipated. Your friend's mom could probably get temporary custody of you either until you're 18 or until your mom gets cleaned up. That will probably be easier since with emancipation, you're basically will be living on your own and you'll need to prove that you can take care of yourself and I believe you'll need both parents' consent. But I'm no lawyer...I just read about the stuff and watch law tv shows. Hope I helpedhearts;

Your friend's mom can request guardianship/custody in court. Or, you can request to get emancipated but you have to PROVE she is unfit, an alcoholic, w/e, and that your either being abused or your safety is in immediate danger. Unfortunately, the court won't accept you just saying your mom is an alcoholic. You have to prove it in the eyes of the law, and prove that it is preventing her from providing basic living conditions and care. I'll be honest with you - Judges realize that a lot of kids/teens don't want to live with their parents, but most of them don't want to because they simply don't want to, and this makes it hard for kids with actually problems to get out of a dangerous or abusive situation. If your mom really is an alcoholic and makes you take care of the kids, you can always call CPS. If CPS sees the situation as hazardous, they can be the biggest support you will have in presenting an appeal for emancipation.

It might be easier (because you don't need to deal with the court) if your mom agrees to you living under the care of your friend's mom. No need to prove anything.

Good luck, hun.

how can prove to the judge that my mom is unfit she had a dui and she had to go to jail for 15 days and all this crap and if I report her drinkin and drinvin and all this stuff she goes bac for 6months I just want to get out of her and I need all the hellp I can get

If your mom has had a dui recently, you can use that to prove your case. But I would recommend doing what the other person said and consulting with a lawyer. Most offer free consultations, especially ones dealing with family law. Also, you might want to ask for help from someone you can trust at your school like a counselor or teacher. They know this stuff well and can guide you. If your mom's drinking problem is that bad you shouldn't have too hard of a time proving she does not provide a stable environment.

Also, keep in mind that the court might not emancipate you if you prove your mom is unfit; they might place you in a foster home. You have to prove you can provide for yourself financially if you are emancipated. Your friend's mom should apply for guardianship with the court. Judges will give more credit to a concerned mom who steps in because that is another adult who sees something wrong with the situation.

And what about your siblings? To get emancipated, you have to prove the living situation is hazardous or abusive, which is true if she is an alcoholic. But you have to consider that if the situation really is that bad, why would the judge let your mom keep the rest of the children? Your siblings could end up in foster care, which might be better, or it could be worse. I can't say because I don't know your living situation.

Try to talk with a counselor or lawyer, hun. They know this stuff inside and out. I hope your situation gets better.

marissa0687,
my sis and bro have my moms frined that lives at the house and stuff I just want to get out and lve with my friends mom bt does your mom have to approve you livin with them or does the judge or whoever make the deicision because my friends mom already said I can live with her cause she knows what im going through cause I told her

Your mom doesn't HAVE to agree. If she doesn't agree, you just have to prove your case a little harder because your mom is going to be fighting it and wanting you to stay at home. So you HAVE to prove its not a good environment. But no, she doesn't have to agree.

what about if I run away or something can I go to oasis for that and would I still be able to get a emancipated

the reason why I ask that is cause my friends mom doesnt want me around drunks and stuff and cause me and her have to go see a consler to talk to them about all this but can my mom do anything if I didnt tell her I left
