First, you have to be at least 16. You file a petition with the court. Your parents/guardian receive a copy of the petition and a summons to appear at the hearing. Once the hearing is held, the court can issue an emancipation order if it's determined that emancipation is in your best interests and you have demonstrated the ability to manage your financial affairs, including proof of employment or other means of support (can not be public assistance) and have provided proof of housing. Even if the court grants the order, your parents can appeal it. And the emancipation order can be rescinded if your circumstances change (ie you become homeless or lose your means of support)

That's a very brief summary of the process--there's actually much more involved than that.

Can a 15 year old get emancipated just because she is pregnant?

No. A 15 year old is still a minor, but now one with a child. Becoming pregnant does not make a minor emancipated. To become emancipated a minor child needs to go before a judge to have him/her determine if she can support herself and the baby. The judge will want to know the means of support and other living conditions. Being emancipated means that a person can support themselves, have a job, pay the rent, pay for babysitting, and do all things needed to live. I doubt that a judge will allow a 15 year old minor to become emancipated with a baby without the needed support.

If you have a child does that legally emancipate you in Nevada?

Having a child does not emancipate a minor. To become emancipated, the minor would have to petition the court, and it would have to be granted by a judge. It's rarely granted in any state. The fact that a minor has a child does not give them any advantage, and in fact, it generally makes it even moredifficult for them to become emancipated (for a multitude of reasons).
