IF Wisconsin will allow a minor to petition, they would want to see that the minor has a job, is capable of fully supporting himself without any assistance, is able to remain in school, is capable of acting as an adult, and is able to provide a reason that emancipation would be in his best interest (hint--a reason such as 'my parents are too strict' isn't going to get it).

If the situation is bad, you can still petition for emancipation in the court in your county that handles such matters-- usually it is family law court, probate court, or a juvenile court
If you can get a responsible person to be your legal guardian til you are age 18, that may be your best bet.

Emancipation is not for a teen to move out of their home just so he or she can move in with a friend or relative that will provide for him or her. You have to be able to show a court that you are financially supporting yourself and will continue to do so (rent, utilities, food, HEALTH CARE EXPENSES, insurance, etc.), are mature enough to live on your own, and have a reason as to why emancipation is in your best interest.

Quoting Wisconsin Statutes Section 880.04(1): Emancipation of married minors:
Except for minors found to be incompetent, upon marriage, a minor shall no longer be a proper subject for guardianship of the person and a guardianship of the person is revoked by the marriage of a minor ward. Upon application, the court may release in whole or in part the estate of a minor ward to the ward upon the ward's marriage. Upon marriage, the guardianship of an incompetent is subject to review under s. 880.34.

In Wisconsin, there is no emancipation statute. So, if you want to move out, your best bet is to either wait until you are 18 or get permission from your parents to move out. If you get your parents permission, someone in the house has to be over 18.


Can't Wait 4 Summer :]
