My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Florida
i am currently 17 years old and pregnant with my first child. i haven't lived with my legal parent for over 3 years. i have a part time job and attend high school on a daily basis. I'm currently staying with a roommate and i pay $100 for room and board a month. I've been trying to get help with insurance for myself and my unborn for the past 2 1/2 months and the medicaid keeps denying me due to the fact I'm not emancipated. My mother believes its not in her control to verify any information needed to proceed with my insurance due to the fact that we haven't lived with each other over 3 years and she lives in a different county. i understand that i cannot proceed with an emancipation without the concent of a parent but my [parent wants nothing to do with my issues. i need to know what i can do to get emancipated so 1 i can apply for health insurance and 2 i wont get in trouble with the law due to me being a minor on my own. i need to know and as soon as possible. please help
