I'm 16 and my girlfriend is pregnant and 4 months she is 16 I want to move out.. but my calls the cops every time I leave the house she knows my girlfriend is pregnant so do her parents I want to move out am I considered emancipated cause I'm going to be a dad?

ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

In some areas a mother can become emancipated when she becomes pregnant. But I don't of any that apply that to the father. You should be happy you aren't being charged with statutory rape.

I'm in California

You can't move out until you are 18 or married with your parent's consent.

You are not emancipated until you go through the court system.

Do you have a full time job? Can you support yourself without the help of anyone?

To become emancipated, you would have to show that being freed from your parents is in your best interests. By getting a 16-year-old pregnant and repeatedly running away from home, you have pretty much bombed any possibility of that. What you would need to do to become emancipated: 1) Marry your girlfriend, which also establishes your parental rights. 2) Attain economic self sufficiency by earning enough of an income to maintain a household and support two dependents. 3) Demonstrate academic achievement, that you are capable of graduating high school, and are likely to attend college.

All in all, to become an emancipated minor, you would need to become a tremendously responsible and conscientious person, at which time I expect your parents would be more comfortable with you making these decisions anyway.

Seems highly unlikely since that would require parental approval for both of them.

Can i marry my gf without having my parents preventing me from marring her?

No you have to get their permission.

Please don't start multiple threads over the same issue. And please don't type in all caps.

And no you cannot get married without parental consent. In addition CA law requires court approval over and beyond parental consent.

If you have a follow-up question please use the Answer options, not the Comments.

That's the point. 1-3 are all highly unlikely for this guy. Ergo, "All in all, to become an emancipated minor, you would need to become a tremendously responsible and conscientious person . . ."

Your parents want what is best for you, where do you want to "go to" her house and move in with her ?

Let her have the baby, and be a father to the child. If this is what is suppose to be, then in a couple years you can move in together.

Your parents are trying to protect you from another in a series of poor choices

I want to move out from my moms house and I'm 16 if I get married can I move out I know I have to get a letter signed by her I will do that but will I be able to move out?

Why do you want to move out?

1) we need to know what state you are in to know the laws.

2) why do you want to move out? Because that's really why you want to get married, right? I don't think there's any nice way to put this, so I'm just going to be blunt. Getting married to move out is a stupid, stupid, stupid idea.

Marriage is a serious commitment. Vows for better or for worse. And if you get married at 16 just to move out, it's almost a guarantee that you'll be starting at for worst.

How will you finish school? Do you have a job? How will you support yourself and your husband? Or even just you if you were to move out without getting married? How will you pay rent? Put food on the table? Do you even know how much rent usually is in your area? In mine it runs anywhere from about 500 to share a room to 1,200+ for a studio apratment. Do you have money like that? Don't forget you'll also probably have to pay for utilities-things like gas, water, electricity, if you want internet or cable that's even more. And if you get married, you and your husband would have to get your own health insurance. You wouldn't be able to be on your parents's plans. And these are just a few of the things you have to consider before moving out. The list could go on.

I'm 16 I'm a guy:) and my girlfriend is pregnant I want to move out because I can't get a job stuck at my house and I know were I can get a job no questions asked.. and I have a place to stay for a couple months until I have enough to get my own place...

High school diploma? What does "own place" mean? What about the girl's parents?

If I get married can I move out??

It would be insanity to move out.

But I'm asking you if I get married would I be able to move out??

You haven't told us what state you live in as to what are the laws.

Getting married at 16 is also insanity.
