If you are only 16 you are not legally an adult and cannot file for yourself. You would have to retain an attorney to act on your behalf and your parents would have to agree to allow it to happen. In some states you file to become emancipated, but in New Jersey, emancipation is only so that a parent does not have to pay child support to the ex-spouse. There aren't any forms you can file to become emancipated.
