Emancipation, Marriage, Minor, Pregnancy

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Colorado.


I am 17, I will be 18 in early September... I recently found out that I am pregnant, and I am actually due the day before I turn 18. As any mother would be, mine is very stressed out and confused. Two days ago she was trying to force the baby's father and I (who have been together for 2 and a half years) to get married. My father is on Active Duty in the National Guard in Pennsylvania... both of my parents claim STRONG christian values, however they don't practice them. Lately, they have been talking about how my boyfriend needs to be 'honorable' and do the christian thing by marrying me ASAP. He and I have talked about it and are engaged but don't believe that marriage needs to happen ASAP... We want to have an apartment and be able to support our child on our own first. We both know that we disobeyed and that this isn't the best time or circumstance to have a child, but we want to try our best to raise this child together.
Yesterday, my mom was talking to my dad and they decided that marriage is NOT the best option, right after my boyfriend said that he would follow their wishes and marry me ASAP... they are saying that marriage is out of the question now because of insurance, and that I am unable to talk to him or see him or his mother until they say so. He doesn't want to miss out on anything during this pregnancy though, and I dont want him to either..
My boyfriend is in college, he turned 18 2 weeks ago, and he, his mother, and I believe that my current home situation is not what is best for my child. His mother said that I can live with them, and I am working on getting a job. I graduate from high school in May this year, and I am just trying to figure out if there is any way that I can leave this house before I am 18, either by being emancipated or getting married or some statute about my rights as a mother and doing whats best for my child...
I plan to go to college even after the baby is born and continuing my plans to find a steady career and future. If i have to wait until I am 18 to leave then I will do that, but I don't want to be stressed out for my whole pregnancy. you know?

please help.

Colorado doesn't have an emancipation process, only a recognition of status which requires parental consent (and you'd already have to be living on your own and 100% supporting yourself with your own earnings FIRST).

Colorado also requires parental consent for a minor to marry.

Until you're 18, your parents make the law. If they say no, then the answer is no, regardless of what the question is. You DO have medical rights to make decisions regarding the medical management for the pregnancy for yourself and your child, but in all other ways, you are under the auspices of your parents until your magic birthday. In other words, no, you can't leave without your parent's blessing. If you do, police can bring you home, and if your parents wanted to play hardball, they could either attempt to get a restraining order against Mr. Wonderful, or even ask for criminal charges to be brought against him and his parents if they take you into their home without your parents permission. Do yourself, your child, and everyone else a favor and stay put until September.
