A: Your parents would have to go through a proper eviction process to get you out. They would have to give you notice, and then file an eviction action in court. If they don't do that, they could be liable to you for improper eviction. But if they do follow the proper eviction process, they could have you out in a few weeks. Contact your local legal aid. Do you have anywhere to go? Contact local children's services office to determine if other assistance is available to you. Do you and your child have health insurance? Contact other local agencies that provide assistance to those with low income, including women's services agencies. Do you intend to keep your child, or have you considered giving it up for adoption if you are unable to provide a suitable home? Would the father of the child agree to that? Are any other of your family members available to assist you? Talk to a school counselor or other trusted adult to help you.
