Question by Alex A: Is this grounds to become an emancipated minor?
I am 16 and live in the state of Kentucky.

For the last 5 years I have been doing web design and small ebusiness consulting on and off.

WIthin the last year it has really picked up, and I need to expand. This means renting more office space, hiring employees, and haveing to enter into contracts with clients.

The problem I have been having is that because I am under the age of 18 my parents have to co-sign, or agree to every thing, and it slows down the process causing me to loose business.

Other then my main company I have smaller “on the side” sources of income, one is a sucessful travel website, other include online subscription services, and one on those “I sell it for you on eBay places”, so finacial stability is no problem, I make more a week then my parents do anyway.

(I have cought them stealing my money, too.)

Do I have a good case for becoming an emancipated minor, or am I paying taxes for nothing?
I’d call down to the legal dept. but they are drinking buddies with my parents, who have to sign their checks because im not 18.

The one line that convinced me that you certainly have a case for emancipation is: (I have caught them stealing my money too) Get yourself a lawyer and go for it. You are more prepared for adulthood than 90% of the “Adults” I know including many my age and older (50)
