The 17 year old is still a minor, but has stepped into adulthood once pregnant. If allowed to be married in the state of Arkansas, yes her and her husband can make their own decision. Morally, we know it is wrong. Legally, it can be right. In Arkansas, pregnant or not, you would need parental consent to get married at 17.
Legally minors are not allowed to choose.
At the age of eighteen.
Not legally. What consequences might arise if the minor arbitrarily leaves the home depends upon what action his or her parents or guardian choose to take.
I'm 16 years old but I want to move out of my parents house when I get the chance. My parents keep bringing up moving out to me every chance they get and they treat me as if they could care less about me. If they kick me out or I choose to leave is there a lot they can do? I can wait until I'm 17 but once again I'm bothered with the question of what they could do legally. I need answers ASAP
Parents are responsible until the age of majority, which is 18, although in some states the child can choose to leave home at 17 and cannot be forced to return (a loophole created by state law allowing a child to go to jail at 17). Ina strange twist, in those states (like Georgia) should the child leave at 17, the parents are legally responsible for some of their actions until 18.

In most countries, parents cannot legally disown their adult child in the sense of completely severing legal ties, such as disinheritance. However, parents can choose to have no contact or relationship with their adult child, which is not the same as disowning them in a legal sense.
there is no legal issue surrounding baby names. The mother OR father can choose, it doesn't really matter
At 18, legally you are considered an adult and have the right to make your own decisions. Your parents may still offer guidance and advice, but ultimately you have the final say in what you choose to do.
Boyfriends are not meant to be anonymous. Choose someone you know (in person).
There is no set age for when you have to move out of your parents' house. It depends on individual circumstances, cultural norms, and personal preferences. Some people choose to move out in their late teens or early 20s, while others may stay longer for financial reasons or to provide support to their parents.
No, legally a minor has no choice in the matter.

I believe you can as long as your parents support you decision to keep the baby and still live at home, my parents and i decided that if i got pregnant when i am 16 that i can still live at home and keep the baby if i choose but i have to finish school. It all depends on how you and your parents feel.
