    Default Emancipation or Transfer of Guardianship Through Pregnancy Mississippi

    I'm a sixteen year old female in the state of Mississippi looking to be emancipated.
    I had planned on graduating high school and moving up to Wyoming with my boyfriend to his mom's house. A lot of my friends and their parents don't agree with how my mom is raising me or my siblings. Would moving to another state where the age of majority is seventeen legally emancipate me?
    My boyfriend's mom would be happy to provide for me and take me in but I'm wondering exactly how can I do that without my mom's consent?
    Will getting pregnant emancipate me? What can I do about this situation?
    I know it sounds like I would be getting pregnant for the wrong reasons but who is to determine whether or not I'm ready to raise a family? I just hope that I can provide what my kid needs. My mom already said that she would make me go through with the pregnancy but considering that she already has to take care of my brother, my sis and her baby, and a bunch of pets, she would not be able to provide for me and my baby financially. So would that make it possible for me to transfer guardianship to my boyfriend's mom if she is suitable enough?
    Also, my boyfriend is nineteen.
    Thanks for any help!

    Getting pregnant will guarantee that you will NOT be emancipated.

    The suggestion itself shows you're not mature enough to be on your own.

    (There's also NO US state which automatically emancipates a 17 year old)

    Time for you to start reading the emancipation "sticky" threads in this forum. You'll soon see why your proposal won't go anywhere.

    A lot of my friends and their parents don't agree with how my mom is raising me or my siblings. Legally, this falls under too bad, so sad.

    Would moving to another state where the age of majority is seventeen legally emancipate me? There is no state where the age of majority is younger than 18. But even if there were such a state, no, moving there would not automatically emancipate you.

    My boyfriend's mom would be happy to provide for me and take me in but I'm wondering exactly how can I do that without my mom's consent? You can't. Not as long as you are under 18. Not 17, 18. Don't even bother looking for a way. As long as you are even one minute under 18, you get mom's consent or you don't go. By the way, if you need someone else to take you in, you do not meet even the most cursory requirements for emancipation.

    Will getting pregnant emancipate me? A pregnant minor obtains medical emancipation, meaning that she, with the help of her doctor, can make her own decisions about her health and that of her baby. It not only would not provide you with legal emancipation, it would ensure that you had just kissed what little chance of legal emancipation you ever had goodbye. No judge anywhere in the US would grant legal adulthood to a minor who was so immature as to get pregnant ON PURPOSE. That is more proof that the judge will need that you need more adult supervision, not less.

    What can I do about this situation? What situation? As long as you are under 18, you live where your parent or legal guardian says you live. There IS no "situation". If you are being physically abused, call CPS - they will investigate and if they feel you need to be removed from the home, they will remove you and they will place you. It will NOT be with your boyfriend or his family, you can bet every cent you've got on that. If you're not being physically abused, then until you're 18 or mom gives you permission to move out, you're staying right where you are. Make up your mind to that.

    My mom already said that she would make me go through with the pregnancy but considering that she already has to take care of my brother, my sis and her baby, and a bunch of pets, she would not be able to provide for me and my baby financially. And she has no legal obligation to provide for your baby financially. You, yes. Your baby, no. You make a baby, sweetheart, YOU get to pay for it. There isn't a law or a judge out there who's going to say otherwise. Your mom is responsible for providing for her children and YOU get to pay for yours. Even your boyfriend has no legal responsibility to provide for the baby financially until after the baby is born, paternity is established, AND a judge says he owes child support. Financially, any baby you give birth to is no one's responsibility but yours until then.

    So would that make it possible for me to transfer guardianship to my boyfriend's mom if she is suitable enough? Not only no, but hell no. That is simply not going to happen.

    who is to determine whether or not I'm ready to raise a family? Every single word you have posted here is proving that you're not even remotely close to being ready to raise a puppy, let alone a baby.

    So apparently I can't ask a question without getting. bashed. I must have been that anal probe that nobody likes. Sorry for being up your ass. xD
    Those damn minors asking stupid questions...
    Of course, if you'd read the stickies like you were supposed to, we wouldn't have to answer your questions. But seriously? That was definitely one of the more immature versions of "how can I get emancipated" I've seen. Are you sure you're not the boyfriend?
