The majority of states do not have grounds nor procedures for the emancipation of a minor. There are no states which consider a pregnant minor eligible for emancipation except for reasons of receiving public funded health care. If such is the case the minor will still be required to be under the custody of her parents, legal guardian or the state's children's services.

Marriage automatically emancipates a minor. Pregnancy does not automatically emancipate a minor. Emancipation, if the state allows it, requires that the minor show that they can support themselves, take care of themselves and their children, feeding, clothing and housing them. Unwed mothers have a hard time showing this is they are seldom employed, haven't completed high school and have to take care of children.

No. Just because a 15 year old minor is pregnant it doesn't make them an adult. They are underage even though they will soon be a parent. To become emancipated the minor child must prove to a judge that she can support herself and the baby. This means the ability to have a job, to pay for childcare, to pay for rent, food, and all things needed to live. With little education and as a minor with a baby I doubt that a judge would emancipate her.

Contrary to popular belief, simply becoming a parent does not make a person emancipated.
