Im Timber, and Im having family problems, like my mom likes to go and get drunk and my dad doesnt like it and it messes up the whole family, Im getting soo stressed, im running out of ideas, Ive been away from home as long as they would let me. They said I cant go and live with a relative, cuz they couldnt handle me. School is good, my alg grade is low.. I want to get emancipated, but then im scared, I have 2 other friends I would live with who also want to get emancipated. From what I have read on it, it sounds like a really good deal.. Im headstrong enough, I think I could do it.. and another thing is, I might be pregnant.. Im scared!! The baby wouldnt even be my new boyfriends, it would be a guy I hooker up with earlier this year, im too scared to do anything cuz, my friend is pregnant, and she got kicked out! I have no clue what to do, someone please help me out? what im really asking is, is emancipation good for me?
~Love~

You haven't indicated how old you are. But it's quite unlikely that a judge is going to emancipate a pregnant teenager. For one thing the fact that you are pregnant does not indicate the maturity level that is required, and secondly in order to be emancipated you would have to be able to demonstrate that you can, ALL BY YOURSELF, financially care for both yourself and your baby. It's not easy for a teenager to completely support herself, let alone a baby too.

In order to be emancipated at all you must be able to show the court that you are capable of completely supporting yourself financially (rent, utilities, med. bills, etc) and that you understand all of the ramifications of emancipation. That means that you will have no legal expectations that your parents will be responsible for you in any way.

Now, in regards to your fear that you may be pregnant:

If that is the true reason that you want out, let me tell you, that is not going to work. I suggest you find out for sure. If you are, go to your school counselor, a pastor, priest or rabbi (whichever applies), or somebody (an adult) that can give you support to decide what the best thing is to do. Just because your friend's parents reacted one way, does not mean that your's will react the same.
