If you have a child at the age of 15 are you automaticly emancipated?

{| |- | No, it isn't likely. Being a parent, or being pregnant, has no bearing on your ability to support yourself and your child. Only about half the states allow you to get emancipated. Of those most require you to be at least 16 to get emancipated. |}

No a 15 year old can not be emancipated in Iowa. A child must be 16 years old in order to be emancipated in Iowa.

No, unless the child is emancipated. Otherwise, the parent must wait until the child reaches the age of majority (usually 18) to do so.

If you live in the US... A parent cannot kick a 15-year-old out in any state of the US. A parent is responsible for providing for their child until the child reaches the age of majority (18) or they are legally emancipated (there no situations in which a 15-year-old would be emancipated). However, they certainly can send the child to live with a relative, send the child to boot camp, military school, etc.

No, the minimum age is 16 in North Carolina.

{| |- | No you are not emancipated just because you are pregnant. Being a parent under the age of majority does not change that. However, the minor does have rights when it comes to the child and should contact social services in their community to discuss their options. |}
