You may. It would ultimately be up to the judge to decide, if there is anyone who would fight against your case to be emancipated. However, your allegations of abuse, particularly about mom having sex with your step brother, are of grave concern; particularly is your step brother is a minor. If your allegations are correct, particularly if the sex is with a minor, you should contact DCFS and file a report. Should you require legal assistance, I have handled similar cases.
