Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I currently love with my godparents and i'm 17 years old. My mom still has some control over my situation as my godparents dont have court appointed custody. I am involved in a sexual abuse case against my father, who my mother is still married too. I am looking to get emancipated from all of them. For many reasons: i dont want my father to hve any control over me, whether or not he gets convicted or not. I dont want my mother in my life because she is still married. And i am a burden to my godparents, so i would like to be on my own. I have 2 jobs, straight A's, and a place to live, but i will be living with roommates. How do i get emancipated? What are the requirements of this in Illinois? Thank you.
