Emancipation for a 16 Year Old Mom and Her Daughter

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Tennessee

I am 16 and currently have a 2 and a half month old baby girl. I am desperate. I would like to know my chances of getting emancipated and how to get emancipated. I dont feel safe or accepted. Im constantly beaten down by my mom and brothers and occasionally stepdad. There are many guns in the house that my stepdad owns and gets sometimes hostile and loves to play with them while drunk. My mother refuses to let me get a job or my permit. She wont let me take care of my daughter much and refuses to let my daughters father or any of my dads family including him see her for no reason but the fact she hates them. My daughters father has a car and job and family i can lean on and i have many friends willing to help. My mom has called me many hurtful words and yells at me a lot for no reason. Im desprate to give my daughter a better life. What are my chances? What else could i do?

Chances: 0%

Understand (despite the example in the attachment above) that the law frowns on turning the abused child out on their own. They find them non-emancipated alternative custody if it comes to that. If you are being abused the first thing to do is contact 800-4-a-CHILD or https://www.tn.gov/dcs/section/child-safety.
Emancipation is not going to be either a quick or easy solution.

They'll want to see that you will continue to go to school and be able to financially support you or your child with a better option than sponging off friends.

How old is the father?

It doesn't matter.

You have no chance whatsoever of being emancipated.

If you had done even the slightest bit of research on these boards you would have known that without being told. But I will spell it out for you as clearly as I can:

1.) The fact that, at 16, you already have a child will tell the court that you need more adult supervision, not less.
2.) We do not emancipate children because they have a bad home situation. In the extremely rare situations when a minor is emancipated, it is to provide them with the legal protections they need because they are ALREADY, for reasons outside their control, living on their own.
3.) Emancipation requires that you be able to completely support yourself, alone and unassisted. You have indicated that you cannot do that, but would need the assistance of your boyfriend, his family and your friends.

To sum up, your chance of emancipation is exactly zero.

You mention your dad. Is he in any way available to help you? Could you ask him to help? They're not going to let you move in with your boyfriend and his family. But your own father might be able to help you get better set up. Are you talking to a counselor at school if you feel unsafe and threatened? I do not hear anything at all that sounds like you need child protective services, but I understand that you are very unhappy at home. Your mother is probably quite angry with you that you have added this new baby to her, giving her more responsibilities. But don't dream and scheme about moving off and leaving them behind. You'd be considered a runaway, probably end up in juvenile, with your baby in foster care and your boyfriend and his family could get in trouble for taking you in or helping you.
