I'm 16 years old and i'm almost 38 weeks pregnant and me and my parents aren't getting along at all. My mom won't let me and my boyfriend live together, and i can't raise a baby on my own. I asked them to let my boyfriend live with me and my parents and they wont let him so i want to move out. Will i be able to get emancipated because my mom and dad said if i try to leave the house they will have the cops called on me?
No judge in the known universe will grant you emancipation to live with your boyfriend.
WV emancipation law is here. You don't meet the requirement of being able to care for yourself 100%, it's not going to be any easier trying to meet that requirement with a baby.
Rather than being willful and headstrong, I suggest you stop trying to behave as if you're being treated unfairly - you're not - and start paying attention to your parents. In two weeks, give or take, your life is going to undergo a DRASTIC change. I promise you, it will NOT be fun, you will be exhausted and stressed out and you will NEED the help of your parents.
Don't crap on them just because they won't let you run off to play house.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Your parents have NO legal obligation to allow you to move out or to allow your boyfriend to move in. What little chance you ever had of becoming emancipated vanished the minute you became pregnant. Pregnancy does NOT emancipate you except medically - you do have the right to make your own decisions about your health care and that of your baby. But there isn't a single chance on God's green earth that any judge will emancipate a teenager who not only would have to support herself, but a baby as well, and the chances are even less that any judge will emancipate a teen to live with her boyfriend.
You should have thought of how you were going to raise the baby BEFORE you conceived it. Until you are 18, you have NO legal right to leave the house or to live anywhere your parents do not agree to allow you to live. You are under THEIR care and control until your 18th birthday and since you have proven that you need more, not less supervision, emancipation is not an option.
