    Exclamation Can a Pregnant Teenager Get Emancipated to Move to Another State With Her Boyfriend

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Texas
    I'm 17 years old and 6 months pregnant. I am graduating early within 2 months and hope to move in with the baby father in Nevada. I work full-time and my parents are unsupportive. My parents won't allow me to visit the father nor live with him but we want to raise our baby together but i don't want to be put as a runaway but i will not turn 18 for 10 more months. Is emancipation an option without consent? is there an implied emancipation like i have been told several times? what are my options?

    No.

    Emancipation is not a means to play house with a boyfriend. If anything, being pregnant and young tells the court that you need more, not less, adult supervision.

    You are medically emancipated, yes - but that is not the same thing.

    You can wait 10 months.

    Pregnancy does not legally emancipate a teen in any state. You live where your parents tell you you live until you are 18.
