Pregnancy and Emancipation in Ohio

[southcoastgurl1769]

If i am pregnant, am i automatically emancipated?

[aaron]

No. In Ohio, you can only become emancipated through lawful marriage, or through enlistment in the Armed Forces. If your marriage or service end before your 18th birthday, you are again subject to the custody of your parents.

what about if im pregnant and live in florida? Am i automatically emancipated?

[aaron]

No. However, with medical proof of the pregnancy, you could petition a court to issue you a marriage license.

it says that in kentucky, if i am pregnant i can get married with out parents consent . am i atuomatically emancipated then? sorry to keep bothering u with this

[aaron]

In virtually all states, perhaps all, lawful marriage results in automatic emancipation.

Kentucky has no emancipation law, but its statutes suggest that a lawfully married minor is treated as emancipated.
