Someone posted in this mom's group asking if there was any state where parental consent wasn't required to get married...and someone replied about emancipation. They said that in some states a teenager who gives birth can get emancipated and swears she has a friend who lived in a neighboring state (I don't know which one she won't say) who was able to " sign school papers for themselves, could move out without parenr permission, etc" while she was a teen mom who couldn't even go to a doctor appointment by herself.
I can't find any state that allows emancipation for a teenage mother. I feel like her friend did something else. All I see about emancipation is marriage, joining the military in some states allows the person to be emancipated and then the usual questions on here about emancipation. But everything I can find says that it usually makes no sense to emancipate a teenage parent because they usually still depend on their parents but marriage is different because the spouse becomes responsible.
Is there a state that allows a teenager who has a child to be emancipated?
