Well, you really don't have any rights of an adult until you are emancipated. Doesn't look good to the court if you run away from home to pursue emancipation. Are you abused? Call the police? Are you neglected? Call the police and child protective services. How far away from you from 18?
Have you talked to legal aid? Can you afford a private attorney? Try www.attorneypages.com or legal aid in Phoenix.
