They don't. A minor is placed in foster care by court order and the judge that issued the order has to rescind or amend the it before the person can leave the foster home. This applies even when a minor reaches the state's legal age of majority. All court orders pertaining to custodial matters related to a minor child supercede established laws.
The judge must gives you permission to leave as long as you are a minor just like he is the one who decided you were going to be in it. At 18 when you are of legal age you do what you want.
Having a child does not emancipate the parent. It does give them certain rights in regard to taking care of the child.
Maybe. It will depend on the state in which you reside. There are a few that would allow someone that young to be emancipated. Most states that allow emancipation require the minor be at least 16. The minor would have to be self-sufficient, and have the ability to take care of themselves and their basic needs, both mentally, physically and financially.
A minor is placed with foster parents by means of a court order. That being the case the minor would need permission of the court to legally change residences or he or she would likely encounter problems with the state agency that oversees the foster care and welfare of said minor.
{| |- | Georgia does not have an emancipation statute. Pregnancy does not confir adulthood on the minor. The minor does have certain rights when it comes to getting health care and support for themselves and their child. |}
No you are a ward of the state and the state has the final say until the state returns you to your parents or they release you to yourself either when you turn 18 or 21. * The minor would need parental permission and permission from the court that placed the minor in foster care.
I wouldn't get too cocky because if you are a minor by law you will be put into foster care. If you aren't a minor then you can walk out that door anytime you like!
No, when you're eighteen you are allowed to leave because you are not a minor anymore
New Jersey does not have any laws that allow emancipation. If there are reasons that the minor needs to be out of the house, they may put them in foster care. If the child can support themselves the court might consider such a move, but the chances are pretty small without a law in place.
Emancipation is at the discretion of court. The younger you are the less likely the judge will grant an emancipation order. If the child lives in an abusive situation he may be removed from the home and placed in foster care.
The likelihood of a court granting emancipation to a minor in this situation (in foster care and pregnant) is practically zilch. Focus your time and energy on other options/alternatives.
A minor mother can and have the right to make decisions about her baby. If they think she can handle the baby and allow her to get married the baby will come with her. She will then be emancipated since she is married.
