I live in Arkansas and I want to get emancipated

I’m sixteen and I live in Arkansas and I want to get emancipated. Do I have to pay for a lawyer? Do I have to be seventeen? Can I live with my boyfriend? Any general information would be helpful. I’ve tried looking the info up on the internet but the language is so formal that I’m pretty lost. Thanks.

Answer #1

You have to be 18 or graduated from High School. To become emancipated sooner you would have to demonstrate the ability to care for and support yourself.
