"Battalion five, raise your hands. You will be the all important first attack wave which we will call Operation Human Shield."
"Hey, wait a minute!"
"Now, keep in mind, Operation Human Shield will suffer heavy losses. Battalion fourteen! Right, you are Operation Get Behind The Darkies. You will follow battalion five here. And try not to get killed for god's sakes! Are there any questions men? Yes, soldier!"
"Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"

9:1-1. Equal rights of parents to services and earnings of minor child; action for injuries to child
The father and mother of a minor child are equally entitled to its services and earnings. If one of the parents be dead, has abandoned the child, or has been deprived of its custody by direction of court, the other is entitled to such services and earnings.

The parents jointly may maintain an action for the loss of the wages or services of their minor child when such loss is occasioned by an injury, wrongfully or negligently inflicted upon such child. If one of the parents be dead, has abandoned the child, has been deprived of its custody by direction of court or refuses to sue, the other may sue alone.

Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to supersede, limit, modify or affect the provisions of chapter fifteen of Title 34 (s. 34:15-1 et seq.).

Amended by L.1953, c. 9, p. 69, s. 1.

9:2-1. Custody of children of parents divorced in another state or country; action in Superior Court; notice to persons interested; judgment; exclusion from hearing; records not open to public inspection
After a divorce adjudged in any other State or country, if minor children of the marriage are inhabitants of this State, the Superior Court, in an action brought by either parent or by a guardian ad litem in behalf of the children, such notice being given to parents as the court shall direct, may make such judgment concerning their care, custody, education and maintenance as if the divorce had been obtained in this State. If the minor child or minor children have not, at the commencement of the action, reached the age of sixteen years, and if it is represented to the court by affidavit or under oath that evidence will be adduced involving the moral turpitude of either parent, or of such minor child or children, or that evidence will be adduced which may reflect upon the good reputation or social standing of the child or children, then the court shall admit to the hearing of such case only such persons as are directly interested in the matter being then heard. The records of such proceedings, including all papers filed with the court, shall be withheld from indiscriminate public inspection, but shall be open to inspection by the parents, or their attorneys, and to no other person or persons except by order of the court made for that purpose.





KICK THAT UP A NOTCH! BAM

A minor may go before a court, by petitioning it, and request such rights as the following: the rights of adulthood through emancipation, exemption from laws restricting work, the right to marry. A judge considers what is in the best interests of the minor. For emancipation, a minor must be capable of taking on the responsibilities of adulthood, and be able to provide for their welfare with employment.


-My best guess would be to consult a family attorney in your area, if in fact you are really serious about the topic.

judges do NOT consider normal fighting with parents grounds for emancipation...so you have to have a very serious reason if you want the judge to even read your petition.

they will also need proof that you will not enf up on the street the next day...so you have to have the funds or assets to be on your own/
