Legal Question in Juvenile Dependency in Florida

Emancipation

MY name is Ali, and I am 16 years old. My parents are in the process of finalyzing their divorce. I recently moved in with my dad. The court is requiring me to still visit my mom. I do not want to. We just don't get along to say the least. She is an alchoholic, a drugee, a liar, she decieves everyone, and sleeps with like every guy she meets. She always takes everything out on me. I am always the one in the end to clean up her mess and take care of my brother(he is 10). I just can't take any of her crap anymore. I was curious about emancipation....but wondering if it is possible to just emancipate my self just from my mother but not from my father. I would still be linving with y father untl i turn 17 and go to college.
