Thank you for sharing more details. Given your situation:
- **Emancipation:** You must prove financial independence, handle your own affairs, and it can take several months.
- **Custody Change:** Given the CPS case, this might be faster if the court finds it's in your best interest.
Could you clarify if your grandmother is willing to take legal custody of you?
Yes my grandma is willing to take legal custody of me
Thank you for the information. In California, given the ongoing CPS case, a custody change might be a faster and more straightforward process.
Here are the steps your grandmother can consider:
- **File a Petition:** Your grandmother can file a petition for custody in family court.

- **CPS Involvement:** The current CPS case will be taken into account, which may expedite the process.
