You need to find out the court to file in for your county- it varies. Sometimes it is juvenile court and in some places, family law court or civil division of regular court. I also suggest making sure you have support for this petition- maybe a school counselor, teachers, other respected adults. You may want to ask the court to appoint you counsel or a guardian ad litem, or consult Legal Aid or Legal Services to see if they can represent you for free.
