  • How old are you?

    Listen, I know it can be really hard with your parents fighting, but you need to stay strong and get through it for them. This could lead to problems and estrangement, and problems in your life as well. Don't you want your children to have grandparents? Judging from your grammar I'd say you aren't 18 yet. If this is the truth, you really shouldn't be seeking this out. I am truly sorry for what you are going through right now, but you need to be there for your parents, I'm sure it's hard for them too. Try to get through it, talk to your friends often and other family members, they'll help you.

    If all else fails and there's really nothing you can do, ask if you can stay with grandparents or a relative. Do not consider supporting yourself right now.

  • You have to show that you can support yourself first. That is, you have to already have a (legal) job, and be making enough to pay for your rent, food, insurance, transportation, education, and all other needs. You can't depend on anyone to give you a place to stay, or to otherwise support you. That includes all public assistance, if you were planning on getting food stamps then you might as well forget it. If you can't do that, don't even think of trying to get emancipated.

    There are certain other requirements, too, but since you are not currently earning enough money to support yourself, I'll just ignore them except to say that you can easily find the requirements with a bit of searching.

  • Do you have a full time job now with a monthly income of at least $1500-$2000? If the answer is no, you have zero chance at being emancipated.
