A 15-year-old is not eligible for emancipation in any of the few states that have grounds and procedures for the act. If the minor needs assistance due to being in an abusive environment and/or her pregnancy she should contact the state's division of child protective services. Please be advised, if an investigation finds that the minor has been subjected to abuse and/or neglect she will be taken into custody by social services and placed in a group or foster home to await a court hearing to determine what action, if any is needed. Regardless of the findings of an investigation the judge will not allow the minor female to move in with the father of her child. The court will either remand her back into the custody of her parents or declare the minor to be under the protection of the state and place her with a legal guardian or in a foster or group home.

Can you get emancipated from your abusive father?
Yes,yes and double yes , first off if your father is abusive you already have a great reason to be emancipated from him. I would suggest going to some sort of family lawyer business (if you don't have very much money) and explaining to him/her about the abuse reasons you feel you need to be emancipated from him. Hopefully the outcome will be in your favor and you officially be emancipated from you father!ANOTHER VIEW: Sorry to be the bearer of (possibly) bad news, but the answer to your question lies ENTIRELY with your state's laws on age of emancipation. If you had given that info I, or someone else, could have told you what it is for your state. But the next best thing is to start asking around to learn this information. In order tocome emancipated, you will have to be able to prove to the court that you are, or can become, self-supporting and capable of finishing your schooling. If you're being physically or sexually abused you should report it to a trusted adult or law enforcement.

In California can you get emancipated at 16 if you're pregnant and the father is 19?
Pregnancy is not a legitimate reason for emancipation, and in fact, being pregnant makes it much harder to become emancipated (for numerous reasons). Be aware, the age of sexual consent in CA is 18. Highly suggest Boyfriend speak with an attorney, because he broke the law by having sex with you, and that should be your number one concern at the moment.
