Can I move out without her permission since im pregnant.. when I turn 16. but then agian I graduate when im 17. because im home schooling. so ill graduate a year before everyone else in my grade. so would i have to wait until i turn 17 and graduate or what..

and my mom IS unbarable to live with considering she hates me she tells me im ugly, calls me a *****, a dyke, a lowlife, hits me, etc you know.

You need to see a lawyer. All states have different laws regarding this matter.

Emancipation requires parental signature unless you take your parents to court, where is your father by the way? If you leave she could come and get you or report you as a runaway, and even though you may graduate at 17 you are still not a legal adult until you are 18. If she really is hitting you call the police next time and they will help you get away from your mother, you could possible have your girlfriend try for guardianship until you turn 18 as well. You need to go to a social services type place as well. And as for needing your mother to help raise your child that is untrue there are many many avenues for teen mothers to take...i should know i got pregnant when I was 17. Good luck.

I am sorry to hear about the rape. Congrats on your baby though I think you and you girlfriend shoud be very happy. I don't know to much about being amancipated except you will need legal advise. If you move out now you might be consider a a runaway. Plus since your mom isn't too supportive I hate to say she may be glad to see you go. Maybe you two should talk.
At 16 you can work and since you are graduating early that will help alot. Does you gilfriend work? Does she have her one place? You both should talk too.
But please go to college even if it is part time to open up more doors for you and your family...Good Luck sorry I couldn't be more help

With that mean of a mom (my mom can be like that too), I would suggest you call an attorney and move out. You should get emancipated, definitely. I can't believe your a year younger than me. Well if I were raped and I were pregnant, no offense but I'd abort the baby if it were a stranger's. If it were a friend's or a person I know (or hate), I'd either abort it or call them for child support. I know it's wrong to kill an unborn child but if I weren't ready for it, I don't want it to suffer. A hateful grandmother, an unknown or backstabbing father, and a tough childhood to grow up with, you can never determine how strong your child will be or how much like their father they'll end up. Since you decided to keep the baby, I don't know you but I'm damn proud.
Call an attorney, get emancipated, and don't introduce your baby to your mother without another adult around, I wouldn't trust her.

Look, My advice..well first lemme say im not gonna be a stuck up ***** like most people on here, im just gonna say..I was raped aswell..i have a 9month old boy now, and i left my mom..cause she did the same to me..not only that shes unclean and a lot of other ****..but i regret it now,.Cause raising a baby, is hard..specially if you have a needy baby, mind you i dont hes a sweety but its still damn hard. so until ur ready n u know ur ready stay with ur mom..no matter how screwed up she si..cause if u leave..u'll regret it. You need her..no matter what she does.

Speak to a counselor. This is some serious issues. First, you can be amancipated but you need to get a lawyer to prove what reasons u want to leave. Which seem like good reason. But please see someone about the trauma from the rape. For the sake of your child and you.

My Dad told Me that once you become pregnant [ In the state of Missouri anyways ] you are automatically emancipated. Also, once you get pregnant as a teen, you are no longer covered on your parents insurance, etc. So, this may be only in Missouri, but you should check out the laws for your state.
Because that might be only in Missouri. Good luck!

Your mother is really wrong to treat you that way. It is not your fault that you are gay and most of all it is not your fault that you got raped. I do not think that it is legal to move out your mothers home at such a young age.
Good Luck!!!

no you cnat untill you go see a social worker you school can provide one. most states require you to be 18 but once you graduate you should be in the clear but check your states laws and see a school counceler about becoming emancipated
