More details to this question:
I'm 15 years old, and I've been thinking for a while now about getting emancipated. I've read up quite a bit on the requirements you need to meet to get emancipated. I'm planning on getting a job when I turn 16 so I'll be able to support myself. My friend's parents said I'm more then welcome to stay with them. The problem is I don't think my mom will agree with this emancipation idea I have, so the thing I was wondering is if I do have a job and a place to stay and try to get emancipated with out her approval when I'm 16 do you think the judge would consider it?

I think, if you are willing to talk to a friend's family about staying with them, then you should talk to them about helping you find a positive way to talk to your mom. Unconditional love is only found between a parent and child. 15-year-olds and 16-year-olds have limited resources. Why cut one of your major resources (your mom) out of your life?
How do you get an education and make yourself who you want to become, if you are working a limited job that is out there for a 16-year-old? You are obviously intelligent and have done some research on this - you could be using your brain for longer-term advancement: graduate from high school, go to college, etc.
Before you further damage your relationship with your mom, try talking to her. If there is a specific thing bothering you, try to make a plan and show your mom how responsible and thoughtful you can be about problem-solving. Good luck.
