Can I move out legally in Louisiana if I'm 17 and pregnant ?

Look, we can only go by what you post. How were we to know you consider them your parents?

Who you are living with (parents or grandparents) is neither here nor there. You cannot move out until you are married.

You are way out of line - you are posting on a legal board. They are NOT your parents. The legal system doesn't care what you call them - it's what they are that counts.

Do them a favor. Get married and move your 17-year old pregnant self out of their house.

Another pregnant teen, pregnant FOR her fiance, who knows everything and can't spell. Have to worry about the child.

Out of greenies... So here's a virtual Greenie!!!

I see why you are having trouble with them, I have known you for about 5 min and I already don't like you. You don't tell us what is happening completely, you say parents, so we believe parents but you lied and it was grandparents, and you get mad because of us believing what you say.

We are here to help people who really want help, and will work with us to find the real issue. If you did not want help why did you come here. If you wanted help why not give us all the facts.

On the FLOOR! Right to the point!

The sad thing is that I (literally) see this all the time when I'm working. One parent in jail, the other abusive. Grandparents raising grandchild, Grandparents apparently didn't do an exceptional job of raising THEIR child (whether their child is the mother or father), Grandparents might be too old to contend with children who turn into teenagers, grandchild has attitude, suddenly grandchild is pregnant, someone has to decide if there's a benefit to putting "fiance" in jail for legal rape, the system decides "no," the mother can't spell or punctuate and will spend her life (if she's fortunate) working a minimum wage job, grandchild knows everything there is to know - and the (great grand) child is caught in the same web the grandchild was caught in.

I continue to be horrified when the same parents who raised the now adult mother (in jail) or father (guilty of abuse) are given custody of the grandchild! They couldn't get it right the first time. When did raising a child turn into second chances and second guesses.

Honestly - this thread makes me sick.

As the step-parent of an adult who decided to commit a felony and is now in prison, I take exception to those remarks. My wife did a good job of raising him, but adult children do have free will. And therefore parents are not necessarily accountable for the wrong choices their adult children make.

Would you insist that OP be placed in the custody of foster care instead?

Sorry it hits you personally - doesn't change my mind, but sorry if you are offended. There are exceptions to every "rule."

If your stepson's daughter got on line and posted what OP has posted I would question the situation. The Grandparents raised both a problem child AND a problem grandchild. That's 2 out of 2.

Insist is a strong word - recommend, suggest, that's up to the social agency that placed the OP.

And foster care might have been a better choice, yes.

I am reading posts by this "just turned 17 year old" and she can barely formulate a sentence. She's ready to be turned loose on the world and I doubt she can make a living. Again, did she have a fair shot? I don't know but SOMEBODY dropped the ball here.

And, again, sorry if you were/are offended. That was not my intention but, yes, I do not "necessarily" hold parents blameless for the actions of their adult children.

I was concerned that I upset you and so I've decided to share my family's story and why I feel the way I do.

My aunt married at 17, had her first child at 18. She and my uncle are still married. Their daughter, my cousin, got pregnant young - 14, in fact. She was always a very wild child. My aunt and uncle could never see it. Anyway, she has the baby. (Three years later, at 18, she had a second child, but I digress.) She, of course, can't raise the child as a 15-year old so my aunt and uncle raise the baby. Guess what? Same rules, same behavior, same story - but she waits until she's 15 to get pregnant, has baby at 16. Aunt and uncle and get custody, again. This child is now 10 and totally obnoxious. Same rules or no rules. I can see the handwriting on the wall.

It has changed the way I feel about kids having kids and grandparents raising them.

I realize this is not the situation you are in.

How many generations can my aunt and uncle NOT raise before someone, somewhere decides this is not a good situation?
