    You go down to Family Court and ask what the requirements are for emancipation and what the process is. Then you prepare your case showing that you will be able to support yourself.

    However, I have to say that's a long shot. Being able to support yourself, which means providing you and your baby with shelter, food and health care, with a baby is not going to be easy.
