emancipated in the State of Florida if she is 16 and pregnant? My son's girlfriend is pregnant and she may end up staying with us but our apartment mgr. says she can't be on the lease since she is not our daughter and under 18 - as she would have to be emancipated first. Her father doesn't have a problem with her staying with us (everyone in relationship is positive and supportive). I am going to look this information up but running out of time. If anyone knows the answer, please let me know - have to clock in to work. If you are not in Florida and you have an answer, please let me know you are from out of state as every state is different. Oh -- and they watch who goes in and out and we could lose the apt. if there is indication someone living there without being on the lease. Moving out of question - just signed lease too.

If you can tell me if you know the statute or where you are getting your information I would appreciate it so I can print something up. THANKS A BUNCH!! I also heard she would be auto. emancipated if 16 and pregnant but that is just it -- I "heard" it.

Early emancipation usually occurs by court order. To obtain a court order:
1. The minor must be at least 16 years old.
2. A petition must be filed by the minor’s parent, guardian or guardian ad litem.
3. The petition must show the judge that the minor is independent and able to support himself and his child, if he is parenting.
He must either be supporting himself or have a specific plan.
He can not be dependent on public benefits.
4. The petition must give the Judge reasons why the minor needs to be emancipated.
You are also emancipated when you marry. However:
A minor can not get married without parental consent.
A minor under 16 years old can not get married even with parental consent.
A court can allow marriage with parental consent if you’re under 16 years old but have (or are expecting) a child together.
A court can allow marriage with parental consent if the male is over 18 and the minor female is pregnant.
Hope this helps!

You need to contact a lawyer. A lease is an agreement of occupancy. It may be restrictive but I think the apartment manager is the one who prefers the girl not stay. You would have to have a rather complex lease agreement which prevents the mother of your son's baby from living with the unborn baby's father. I hope your are getting the gist of this....you need an attorney's opinion who would need to read the lease.
BTW laws even in Florida are written to benefit the leasor far more than the property owner. It would take minimum 90 days to successfully evict you.

Generally, an attorney would be required for emancipation.
In Florida, this activity is called the "Removal of Disabilities of Nonage". It is outlined in the Domestic Relations Code, Chapter 743.
My suggestion is to read the first line of my response very carefully. The odds are that you have several other issues which may or may not need attention.
good luck

They're as spoilt as they always have been just they're spoilt on different stuff. They're as spoilst as adults and toddlers and kids as well just they like different stuff. Teenagers arnt all materialistic think about the number of adults who obsess over stuff like that. I'm a teen and I'm not materialistic. I dont have to work for stuff I want but I do cause i dont want my parents to buy it and also I dont care at all. Materials are just materials. Who cares? Yet of course it's nice to have things like a computer cause they're useful. I hate stereotypes like "teens are spoilt brats" some of them are, yet some adults are and often it's the parents who ruin them. Sorry, rant over.

I don't know about Florida so I really shouldn't answer... but in Georgia, all she would need is an adult who would act as her guardian. The funny thing about the Georgia law is that the 16 year old female can choose her own gaurdian.
best of luck.
