okay so I have a few questions about emancipation and stuff. 1. when you get emancipated I know you're supposed to be able to support yourself financially and stuff. when you're a minor and you have a job and you want to get emancipated do you also get your bank account money? 2. I'm guessing you have to have a good reason to get emancipated. what if a parent was physically abusive and isn't anymore but is more verbally abusive and there is something wrong with that parent for sure. like anger issues and just not right. 3. when you get emancipated does that change the driving laws for you too?
and I have questions that don't have to do with emancipation 1. if you got money yourself, whether you worked for it or people gave it to you for an occasion or something of the sort, and then your parents take it and won't give it to you to buy something with it, is that considered stealing and do they have the right to do that since it's your money?
btw, I'm a minor. obviously.

...actually, in some states, the driving laws are different for emancipated teens.
If a judge emancipates you, your parents no longer have any legal right to your finances.
You need to check the laws in your state (they are all available on line these days) to see what age is eligible for emancipation. If you are younger than the specified age (Usually 17), then the CDC will step in upon your request and place you in foster care until then.
