In the state of Florida what does it take for a 17 year old mother to get emancipated?

First, being a mother is irrelevant, because having a child does not emancipate a person. In Florida, at 16, a petition for emancipation can be filed with the court. In order for emancipation to be granted you would have to prove, among other things, that you are capable of fully supporting yourself and your child (rent, utilities, food, etc) *without any assistance* (note: they would likely consider child support to be legitimate income and not a form of assistance). Most likely, the judge would also require that you remain in school. You would have to convince the court that it's truly in your best interest to be emancipated. That means you must have legitimate, valid reasons. Just not getting along with your parents or wanting more freedom is not going to be enough. Here's a link with some emancipation info for the state of Florida (click on '743.015 Disabilities of nonage; removal'): http://www.flsenate.gov/statutes/index.cfm?App_modeCh0743/ch0743.htm EDIT: For some reason, the link won't copy right. Go to Google and key in 'Florida Statutes 743.015 DISABILITY OF NONAGE OF MINORS REMOVED'

∙ 17y agoFlorida like most states that have emancipation laws has stringent requirements. The state law pertaining to early emancipation is titled "Removal of The Disabilities of Non-Age" (Chapter 743). The minor must be at least 16 years of age, and (paraphrasing) the emancipation petitionmust be filed by the minor's natural parent(s) or legal guardian, if there is no such person, it must be filed by a Guardian Ad Litem (court appointed legal representative).
