Question
I am a 16 year old mother and do not wish to live with my mother and step father any longer. My grandmother and grandfather want to take me and my son in because they know of my living circumstances. Is it possible for me to be emancipated if I am not financially responsible but my grandparents want to be and would be over me and my son?

- Manage financial, personal and social affairs.
- Live wholly independent of parent or guardian.
