Let us leave statute out of it for a second.

These are the facts:

You were pregnant at a young age - this shows the court that you actually need more, not less, adult supervision.

You are on state assistance - this shows the court that you cannot support yourself fully. You're not taking care of yourself. And that's a requirement, if you want to become emancipated - in ANY state.

By all means pay an attorney to tell you the same things as you've been told here.

And where are you getting the funds to provide everything?
