I ran into some strange tax problems, and the only way out of them was to get to my trust fund. … To get out of my financial problems, I petitioned the courts to become emancipated. … I wanted to be legally responsible for myself. I wanted to sign my own contracts. If a mistake was made, I would be accountable, and I would learn from it. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as it sounds. It was a nine-month process of proving my mental and financial stability.”
