Can I Become Emancipated?

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: California


Ok, So Iam 16 years old and live in california and iam looking to become emancipated. I have A few questions and concerns about it though. Well to get it started i came from virginia not too long ago. The problem is my girlfriend is pregnant and is currently living there. I want to be around for my kid and be a father. i have a job and i will have a job set up for me when i return. My mother and I are completely fine in fact she is going to tell the court she thinks i should become emancipated. But i do not know if the court would find it a problem if iam living with my friend and his mom but i will be completely providing for myself and my child (which will live at my girlfriends house). my grades are good A's and B's but iam having doubt can somebody help me out and let me know what would happen.

Thank You.

Without showing you are supporting yourself 100% right now it is not going to work. A judge will not emancipate you so you can live with someone else either.

If your mom is fine with it why doesn't she just allow you to move?

I dont know She says if i get on trouble out there you know the "would if's" then theres nothing she can do and that its illegal to let me leave to virginia. My friends mom offered to take some kind of custody of me though.
