I was born and raised in Florida so this may help.

If you become pregnant and have the baby you are considered an emancipated minor.

  • The minor must be aged 16 or older;
  • The minor must reside independently of his or her parents;
  • The minor must be self supporting (although public assistance or court-ordered child support payments made to the minor would not disqualify the minor from being recognized as emancipated);
  • The minor must not be in need of or receipt of foster care; and
  • The minor must be living beyond the custody and control of his or her parents
  • The parents must initiate the request.

If you have no natural or legal guardian and wish to bring an emancipation petition, the court can appoint a Guardian Ad Litem to represent your interests in relation to emancipation proceedings.A minor in Florida is not considered emancipated by pregnancy or having a child or children.

The statute simply allows the minor to have limited rights in regards to her child, the right to place the child for adoption, to receive child support and/or public assistance for the child and to consent for medical care.

You would first need to fill out and file an application for emancipation with your local court house. You will then be notified later of a date you will have to attend court. A judge will consider many factors include your needs, interest, independent resources, and financial abilities before approving your application.

Colorado does not think you are an adult just because you can get knocked up. You are not emancipated automatically when you are pregnant.

You do have certain rights as to obtaining assistance for you and your child, but you are still the responsibility of your parents until you turn 18.
