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.

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’s not granted). At the very least she will have to prove to the court that she’s capable of fully supporting herself—paying for rent, utilities, food, etc—with NO help from any one. In addition, since she’s pregnant, she will also have to prove that she’s capable of supporting her child—paying for medical expenses, baby supplies, daycare, etc. Even if she’s capable of fully supporting herself and her child, the court can still deny the request if she doesn’t 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.

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!

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.

you do not have any rights because you aren't from now on the organic and organic mom. except you may tutor that your ex is an undeserving father or perhaps then the organic and organic mom may get the youngster if she is in a position to take her. also if the daddy and the bio mom gave up parental rights then you've gotten a probability different sensible you need to only might want to attend till she is eighteen. I heavily doubt that any courtroom may grant you with custody

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
