To become emancipated means you have to show you have the maturity and financial ability to support yourself. Having a baby before you turn 16 shows neither.

Ouch. But fair.

When you can financially physically and emotionally look after yourself then you will be ready.

Your biggest challenge is how to get money/find work and keep a job to earn money to look after yourself without asking your mother to look after your child while you work-that is the hardest thing to do. This is why you will probably have to stick around, under your mother's roof.
