When Getting Emancipated In North Carolina Can You And A Friend Get A Place And Split The Bills?
Okay, I’ll be 16 here in less than a month & I know one requirement is being atleast 16 years old. Beyond that, I have a friend who is 20 and shes a CNA and we’ve been discussing for a little over 6 months now about getting a place when I turn 16. I’m a certified lifeguard with only a summer job, but I’m putting in applications for year around jobs so that I can have the money to split bills with her. I’m also going to continue school and I would be moving in walking distance to my school. I just wanted to know if you could get emancipated and split bills with a friend? Or would I have to do this all on my own?
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
here are some of the highlights, you must be able to support yourself, no living with someone,stay in school, have you parents okay it and judge to sign off on it
Eerything the first answerer said, plus you have to convince the judge your parents are so horrible that you’d be better off on your own.
That is allowed. But I’d suggest you read the rest of the law which can be found here.http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedLegis…
Emancipation is really very rare. The court looks at.
7B‑3504. Considerations for emancipation.
In determining the best interests of the petitioner and the need for emancipation, the court shall review the following considerations:
(1) The parental need for the earnings of the petitioner;
(2) The petitioner’s ability to function as an adult;
(3) The petitioner’s need to contract as an adult or to marry;
(4) The employment status of the petitioner and the stability of the petitioner’s living arrangements;
(5) The extent of family discord which may threaten reconciliation of the petitioner with the petitioner’s family;
(6) The petitioner’s rejection of parental supervision or support; and
(7) The quality of parental supervision or support. (1979, c. 815, s. 1; 1998‑202, s. 6.)
