Re: emancipated
Ah...this is the follow-up to the question that was just asked.
If you are in fact emancipated, your father cannot force you to move. You may need a court's assistance in this, though, if you have not been legally recognized as emancipated.
The courts are NOT going to allow you to be taken to Brazil against your will at this age, in all likelihood, especially given that you have a child here. However, you are going to need a fair amount of legal assistance, or you are going to have to file motions in court on your own.
Your mother is not mentioned in this.
If you would like a further consultation, please feel free to contact me.
