My husbands 15-1/2 yr daughter lives with her grandmother, who my husban signed over legal guardianship to her of his daughter when she was 5 yrs old. The mother was abusive and my husband at the time could not take care of her and he wanted her to be protected. The grandmother still is the legal guardian. Anyway, the daughter has ran away twice, is now pregnant & we cannot find her. Our question is how do we go about emancipation? Also, if the daughter goes to live with her mother in California, would the grandmother or father be responsible for child support or does emancipation cancel out the right for child support? If the daughter has the baby is the father still required to pay child support or does having a baby move the daughter to adult status? What can we (my husband and mother-in-law) do to protect themselves? The daughter will not stay with any of us, will not give up the baby, and we need advise for liability protection.
