It depends upon the state of residency and the individual circumstances. In most cases minors are in the legal custody of their parents until they reach the legal age of majority or a court rules otherwise. In cases of pregnant minors, although pregnancy does not automatically confer emancipation the minor female can receive limited emancipation to obtain public assistance such as Medicaid for herself and her child. In such cases the parents of the minor cannot force her to have an abortion, place the child for adoption or in any way relinquish her parental rights. In other situations such as a minor leaving home against parental wishes, the parent(s) have legal options such as requesting the court to be relieved of their legal obligations to the minor in order to protect their own interests or to request a court order to have the minor returned to their custody. The law gets rather complicated when it becomes a matter of a family dispute over what property belongs to the minor, educational matters, and so forth.
