Rather than have the presumed homeless minor deemed emancipated by the court (or at least have an attempt to do so) I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney and seek a possible custodial order for the minor where you care for her.
Emacipating a homeless minor makes no sense legally since she is on her own anyway.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
