Teen Mom Wants to Be Emancipated

[archer21980]

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Arkansas and Oklahoma.
is a 17 year old emancipated in Arkansas if she has a 2 yr old and an 18 month old? She wants to move to Tulsa to live with her sister.

She is medically emancipated - meaning that she can make her own medical decisions without consent from her parents. But she has NO chance of becoming legally emancipated.

She's a teen Mom with TWO young children - this shows the court that she needs more, not less, adult supervision. Now if her legal guardians agree to her moving in with her sister, that's entirely possible.

is a 17 year old emancipated in Arkansas if she has a 2 yr old and an 18 month old? No, she is not, other than as Dogmatique has described. And the answer would be the same in all other states. In NO state does pregnancy or parenthood convey legal adult status on a minor.
