The emancipation of minors? I am a wife of 17 years. My mother and father are divorced. Earlier this year, my mother has signed a proxy to my legal guardian for the school, housing, and medical only (no full guardianship). When she helped me out, I moved to Arizona to stay with my legal guardian. I'll be 18 in 82 days (less than 3 months), and she keeps threatening to get back to Montana, where she lives. Now I just enrolled in school, I am supported financially, and I'm sure. Can anyone help me? I need to know what I can do about these threats to take me back to Montana ((incidentally, these threats for no reason. And if I should be back to Montana I also get very sick until I moved out)) My birthday is in October, ergo, if my mother would take me back to Montana I start school in September, school starts in August while here, so it would in turn greatly inturrupt my studies, as is my senior year. Please help me! Thank you very much!
It is doubtful that a petition would be finalized before your emancipation 18 years and even if you have submitted, it is doubtful he would be given (you must be financially independent, which means that you live for yourself, pay your full rent , utilities, groceries, medical costs, insurance, transport, without help from anyone else or any other type of state aid). It may do well on his threats until the day you turn 18.
In your case, emancipation is not even worth the effort and you will be 18 before it is approved.
Being so close to 17 years and 18 years, there is not much your mom can do to force yourself at home.
Given the power of attorney, she signed over and the fact that it allowed you to move to Arizona, it is a civil matter. There really is no legal possibilities for her, because all action on his part to overthrow the power of attorney before the courts and / or force you to return to Montana, would take over 3 months to resolve.
Suffice it to say, No.
just tell your mother to shut the **** and you will not Ain where he had better if you stay in Arizona.
