Q: I’m 16 and I was wondering about emancipation of a minor and what all you have to do and the requirements of this
. I would like to get emancipated because I’m currently pregnant and I don’t want to live here once my baby gets here because I don’t have room in the house for me and my son my room is way to small for the both of us and we don’t have anywhere else for him or me and my family i live with has a very negative impact on me and I’m currently having to be a caregiver to my grandma which is very difficult while pregnant and I’m very stress out
