    printer friendly version

    Question: Is it true once you become pregnant you are emancipated?

    Answer: You must be sixteen or seventeen-years-old to apply for emancipation. You have to be a resident of Arizona and be able to prove that you can support yourself. The court will give you information about the risks and consequences of being emancipated as well as your rights and obligations as an emancipated minor. You cannot apply for emancipation if you are a ward of the court or in the custody of a state agency.

    in kentucky if you are sixteen and you find out that you are pregnant you are considered a leagal adult and are able to do as you wish without your parents permission. so it is pretty much understood that once you become pregnant regarless of age you are emancipated.
