    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.

    I dont blame you at all for wanting to be emancipated i am in the same boat as you are. But my parents will not sign the papters no matter what. In Maine you have to have your parents sign the papers before you can leave.
