17? Your only 1 year away from her turning 18. By the time your done with all the processing she will almost be 18. The time and effort to go through all that would not be worth just waiting out that 1 year. The court cost if any lawyers got involved would be a good chunk of change.





See if you can't wait it out, if she is already 17.What steps need to be taken if a parent wants to emancipate their 17 year old child?
Number one i dont agree with what your doing as i was kicked out when i 17 and was very difficult to deal with the one person that i thought would always be there for me wasnt that was much worse than being broke but it did help me grow up im 21 now and i still will not speak with my father....but child services and family court will lend you hand
Are you asking this so that your daughter can receive help from the State with her pregnancy? If that's the case, she needn't be emancipated to receive benefits ... check out www.healthystart.com. They offer help with medical expenses for your daughter and her baby. You may also look into WIC (Women, Infant, Children), which helps with food while your daughter is pregnant and also formula or other essentials once the baby is born.





Best of luck!
Take care of your child.


Being a parent isn't an easy job at any age.
Each state is a tad different so call the general information number at the court houseand they will direct you. Mostly they need to have a job of their own to show they can support themselves, have a place to live and can prove responsiblity. But of course that goes out the window with her pregnant.. but I suppose she can apply to social services for medical and food.
U ARE THE WORST PARENT IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.


yOU BETTER CHANGE YOUR MIND!!!
The requirements for emancipation vary by state, so you need to check the laws for your specific state. Yes, there is a fee for filing the petition (even if it鈥檚 not granted). At the very least she will have to prove to the court that she鈥檚 capable of fully supporting herself鈥攑aying for rent, utilities, food, etc鈥攚ith NO help from any one. In addition, since she鈥檚 pregnant, she will also have to prove that she鈥檚 capable of supporting her child鈥攑aying for medical expenses, baby supplies, daycare, etc. Even if she鈥檚 capable of fully supporting herself and her child, the court can still deny the request if she doesn鈥檛 meet the other requirements, such as having a valid reason why emancipation is in her best interest (pregnancy alone is not a valid reason), having the maturity to function as an adult, etc.
