You don't have to do anything but the right thing to do is to provide the baby with the safest cleanest, financially sound place so they get what they deserve.

In most places, a 16-year-old cannot legally move out without parental consent. If a minor leaves home without permission, the parents or legal guardians can involve the authorities.

Laws regarding emancipation vary by state, but in most cases, a child must typically be at least 16 to petition for emancipation. Even if a child is not emancipated, custody arrangements can be determined through the legal system to allow a child to live with the non-custodial parent if it is in the child's best interest. It is advisable to consult with a family law attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
