Can a Minor Be Emancipated by Having a Child

My question involves juvenile law in the State of:louisiana
Can a minor be emancipated by having a child? Or can the minor simply move out without parents consent?

A minor can become "medically emancipated", in relation to making medical decisions pertaining to her pregnancy, but getting pregnant does not give a child the right to move out.

Wow. Just the thought that you would consider having a child just so you can move out is so immature it borders on insanity.

The direct answer to your question isn't just no, it is HELL no. A child having a child will be seen to need MORE parental supervision, not less. In fact, the birth of a child to a minor takes any small chances of emancipation and turns them to dust.

You get to stay at home with those mean old parents.

No. And no. The only thing that getting pregnant does is allows the mother to be MEDICALLY emancipated, meaning she gets to make medical decisions about herself and her baby. Even in states where emancipation is possible (and in Louisiana it ONLY gives a minor the right to enter into contracts), getting pregnant is the end of any possible hope for emancipation from parental authority.

No and no.

All having a child does is give you the right to make medical decisions for yourself and your child. Emancipation will not happen for a pregnant (or newly enkidded) teenager.

I have a friend that wanted me to ask. the house she's living in is not a good enviorment to raise a child in. and we were wondering if she could move in with me because it is much calmer here. We just wanted to know if it was legal or not. She had the kid almost 2 years ago and shes 17 now.

It's not. She has to wait until she's 18.

what if i was to say this enviorment is dangerous to the childs well being? could the mother move out for the sake of keeping her child away from the danger and violence of the household?

If it's not a good environment to raise a child in, she shouldn't have had a child until she was out and living in better conditions (not to mention being able to support the child). It's this kind of poor judgement that makes the law what it is in regard to allowing minors to make decisions for themselves - because more often than not, they fail to understand the consequences of their actions, and thus make poor choices, like getting pregnant at 15. If her parents ALLOW her to live elsewhere, she can - right up until the second they order her to return home. If they do not give her permission, then she stays or becomes a runaway, at which point law enforcement gets involved to locate and return her. Anyone aiding her in thwarting parental authority, such as your parents allowing her to stay with you against the wishes of her own parents can face criminal charges.

thanks, i appreciate the help.
