In some places. One of the requirements is to show that they can take care of themselves without being a burden on the state. At 16 and pregnant, this is going to be really hard to demonstrate to the court.
In Indiana, a pregnant 18 year old is not automatically considered emancipated. Emancipation is a legal process that requires a court order. The criteria for emancipation generally include factors such as financial independence and the ability to make legal decisions independently.
No, you are not emancipated automatically when you are pregnant. It does not mean one has the ability to take care of yourself. You do have certain rights as to obtaining assistance for you and your child, but you are still the responsibility of your parents until you turn 18.
{| |- | No Indiana does not have an emancipation statute. 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. |}
A sixteen year old girl is emancipated as far as decisions concerning the baby. For example, she decides whether or not to keep the child, whether or not to have an abortion, which doctor she sees, and what medications she takes while she is carrying the child. Her legal guardians are still responsible for her in all things except those which concern the child.
{| |- | 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. |}
Being pregnant does not emancipate a minor. It does give them certain rights in regards to providing for the welfare of their child.

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.
Yes, you are emancipated through the marriage. Not through the pregnancy.

Pregnancy does not emancipate you in any state.
