Check out the article below. You can do it. And, at 17, you do NOT need permission from either parent. You can do it without an attorney, but you should probably get one -- even if it's from a legal aid office.

she would need to check with the court but I think if she can prove that she can take care of herself and her son for six months the judge in the court will emancipate her. Only if she can prove that she can do it, and I also think since she has had a child she is no longer under age she is an adult now.

I agree that she should check with the courts, but I'm pretty sure she's going to be ok since she's had a child of her own.

If she has a child through child birth, she is already emancipated. Good Luck
