I hear so many teens complain about how they are "so ready to move out" or wish they were emancipated.
I was emancipated from my parents. I stood before a judge and have official court papers.
Whenever I speak to another adult about it, they get highly offended. They say things like, "how could you be so disrespectful to your parents?" or give me very distraught glares.
In Illinois, my judge said he had done only a few emancipation in his career and only accepted one. He also didn't think Illinois had seen one in more than a decade. We had to go through loops jump over fences to get it done. It was the most tiring process ever with rules and regulations that I thought were simply impossible. For example, one rule was you could not be living with a parent when filing for emancipation. That was a difficult one to over come.
Anyway; do you believe it is disrespectful for parents? Do you see it as nessecary and under what circumstances? Should it be made easier to achieve?
I know you are emancipated through marriage and when you reach 18, so I am talking about circumstances other than those two.
I searched and didn't see this topic before and I thought it might be interesting to hear other's opinions. We have such a diverse age group here.
