Q: She can't have a job to support her and her baby.What are her rights for emancipation?without court papers and marriage?
My friend is 16 and pregnant and how is living for her and her newborn is not good. I was speaking to her she doesnt have a room for her and her baby. Her mom is putting her in the living room with her baby. She can't have a job to support her and her baby. What are her rights for emancipation? Her boyfriend can't have no contact with her at all. She wants a better life without her mom controlling her and her newborn. Getting a court order paper signed isn't going to work and getting married. What else can she do ?
A: She has no recourse until she is 18.
