wow that sux ...... what dose your lawyer say ??? lots of factors in this question like how old you are and soforth

First its the court who ordered the child support so that means the court has to stop it and you are going to have to have good reason's to stop it and divorce you self from her. I guess this probably is possible but would not be a free nor easy thing to do, you would need to see a lawyer to even find out if this is possible and what does Dad say about it? Does he depend on the money he is getting to help support you? After all it is her responsibility to help support you after all. Just because she does this doesn't mean you have to let it mean any thing to you other than its her duty to help support you. And just get on with your life.

You are requesting Emancipation. The exact laws and protocols for obtaining emancipation vary from state to state. In most states, the minor must file a petition with the family court in his/her jurisdiction, formally requesting emancipation and citing reasons why it is in his/her best interest to be emancipated from the one parent.

I am not sure how divorcing your mother will make any difference to your life. You already are virtually divorced, even if not legally. That process costs quite a bit of money. Your dad is the one who should be petitioning the courts to change the child support situation...it is supposed to be for your expenses. If you are not getting the benefit of that money then there is no reason for her to get it. Is it child support she is getting...or alimony? Unless mom can prove that she is investing that money for your education or whatever, your dad has a good case and should talk to his lawyer about changing that arrangement.

First I need to know where you live, emancipation laws vary, from state to state. *** In Missouri, a minor may be emancipated in one of three ways: 1) your parents may give express consent to a court that they are waiving their parental rights; 2) your parents may give implied consent, which would apply in situations where you have been living on your own, supporting yourself, and for all practical purposes your parents have relinquished their parental rights; and 3) you experience a significant change in your societal status-such as an enlistment in the military or marriage. Emancipation requires the ruling of a judge. http://www.aclukswmo.org/rights/student_rights.html#emancipation

If you want to be emancipated (prior to the age of majority in your state), familiarize yourself with procedures for emancipation and just do it. That will emancipate you from both, mom and dad. If you want child support that is going to your mom from your dad stopped, your dad (not you) needs to go to whichever court ordered him to pay child support and file for modification, stating that you have been living with him since (whatever date) and your mother has had no visitations, that such situation is materially and substantially different than it was when the support was ordered, and that support needs to stop. Good luck!

You cannot divorce your mother, and emancipation would be from both your parents, not just your mother. About 10% of sole and primary residential fathers still have to pay child support. You want your mother's parental rights suspended so that he no longer has to pay her. He would need to file a motion to that affect, and you can present your opinion in the matter, but it's up to the judge. If you emancipate, than your father's medical insurance would no longer cover you. Has your father tried filed any motions to suspend the child support paid to your mother on the grounds that she no longer has contact with you? The purpose of him being obligated to pay is support you when you are in her care. Since that is not the case, it should be suspended. Give this to him. ********************************** You need to file a motion to modify your child support. If you are current in your support, you can do this by making an official request for a modification/suspension at the child support enforcement office under the provisions of Public Law 12. If there are arrears, contact the Clerk of the Court and request forms for filing for a modification, Pro Se. If you want to learn how to do all this go to Dads House in Yahoo Groups.
