When I was 15 I looked up the possibility of emancipation online and if I recall you need to be able to support yourself without the help of anyone else.
Here is a that might help you out a bit
Emancipation: Encyclopedia of Everyday Law (http://www.enotes.com/everyday-law-encyclopedia/emancipation)
If this doesn't help let me know and I will do some more research for you, good luck.

For starters what state are you in? Some states don't allow emancipation. Another thing is that you have to be able to care for yourself and in this case your child without any help at all. Food rent clothing utilities everything. No help from anywhere. Also you can't get it on a whim you have to have a proven track record. And yes it means living on your own not with someone else.
