    Default Emancipation In Rhode Island

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Rhode Island.
    I am 16 and 21 weeks pregnant, my boyfriend the father of the baby is 18. My parents are against me getting emancipated. I know that i would need to present my case in court and prove that i can support my child and myself on my own. The problem is that i cannot support the child on my own without my boyfriends help. My question is that if i say that i want to get married and both me and my boyfriend would be supporting my child, would a judge look at as whether or not me AND him together could support me and my child rather than just me?

    Thank you for your help.

    In order to be granted emancipation you must prove you can support yourself, if you cannot do this and also support your baby you cannot be emancipated. The chances of being emancipated while pregnant are low.

    In order to get married, you must gain parental consent.

    If you cannot support yourself and the child without ANYONE'S help, you cannot be emancipated.

    The chances of a pregnant teen being legally emancipated is about zero.
