[WSBAPT] Off-Topic Referral - Minor (16yrs) Emancipation

Tue Feb 28 12:00:31 PST 2023

Not my bailiwick and don’t have a referral, but fwiw a couple of years ago we took on a child who had filed a CHINs (Child In Need Of Services) petition because of difficult home situation. As I understood it, emancipation had a pretty high threshold in terms of child having to prove financial wherewithal, etc.  In our situation, after court hearing child was placed with us and we were given authority with respect to school issues until she was 18 yo. Worked out pretty well, in part because there was no money to manage and we were willing to support her. Best of luck, Cy

Apologies for cross posting - 

I have a neighbor/friend who is dealing with a tough situation. Niece who is 16 years old is in a situation that is triggering a referral to CPS by her counselor/therapist/psychologist and they would like to connect her with someone who can assist with emancipation paperwork. 

My friend and his wife will be the safe place where she would move to and help out.  

I know nothing about this system or advice to give as to emancipation vs guardian or some other avenue for a change....

All referrals, including self-referrals will be passed along. 

Thank you,

Brent
