i hate to swim against the tide, but in most states if you are over 14 years of age and pregnant, you are whats known as an "emancipated minor". that means you have all the legal rights of an adult. however, you need to petition the court to grant you the piece of paper saying that. a legal aid attorney can help you.

The best thing to do right now is chill out at home with your mom and wait for stuff to die down. You dont want to stress out cuz that can cause you to have the baby early. Have your b/f over the next month prove yourself to you and your mom that he wants to be there for you and your baby! But you should really stay home and not live with him cuz your only 16 and he could get into a world of trouble at this point and if you don't listen to your mom she could press charges against him. So stay home and let your mom get comfortable with the whole situation before you just go live with him like that. ( i mean thats y ur in this situation in the first place....doing grown peoples things!!) With such a huge age gap difference between you too and 21 bcoming a key age for him, he might not be there for you as much as you think so you dont want to screw over the only people who will truly have your back.

Your boyfr sounds like a actual winner yet in any case that may not the issue to hand you do not have any rights because of fact the youngster isn't born yet. In some states a teenager that provides start is legally emancipated yet no longer all. In my state your status does no longer substitute based on the actuality you have a baby and for this reason you will possibly proceed to have not got any rights after the toddler grew to become into born. nevertheless in maximum states while a mom enables her teenager baby to pass in w a boyfr/girfr and a being pregnant outcomes she would be able to be costs w baby sexual abuse by utilizing CPS as can the mothers and dads of the different baby or if the boyfr is over 18 then they could be costs w sexual misconduct or something staring on the age hollow. trustworthy opionion - placed the toddler up for adoption this occasion is already a multitude

I wish I had better news for you but the truth of the matter is technically (legally) you are a minor. You have no legal rights. This is not what you want to hear but the best thing for you to do is try to make amends with your mom. She's probably doing what she thinks is best for you. If you really love this man and think you belong with him she'll see that eventually. But you've got to try to get along with her first. Let her try to help you. You're going to need help if you're having a baby in two months. If your b/f really cares about you he'll still be there.

I do not want to mean at all. I remember the days when I was doing the same thing. It brings back old times. Your mom and grandma is looking out for your best interest. Set both of them down and explain to them what you want to do. That is the best way. But you have to understand that your mom is still responsible for you. Considering that you are only 16 and he is 21. Be careful your mom can get him for statutory rape since you are pregnant by him. Just be careful. Legally she can prevent you from going. Like I said set your grandma and mom down and explain what you want to do. Ok. God bless you and Good luck.

You're 16 and 7 months preggy. Is that right? When I was 16, I was enjoying senior year in hischool and just starting conquer the world, well my part of it at least. Had you been more sensible, the other half of the world could have been just a piece of cake. Go bak to your parents, let them settle the legal complications, start anew life and stay away from commitments you don't want to own up to anyways because you're still a selfish brat to start with. W ait til you get older and wiser and more moneyed and capable. Then own the world. I bet cha you won't be fretting or sulking at home.

Wait 2 months, while letting "THEM" take care of you, have your baby, get the gifts from the shower (if there is one).. then have your self legally emancipated as an Adult. A LOT of young mothers do this to keep control of their lives. If you don't fully understand the meaning of being emancipated as an adult.. talk to your local "woman's shelter" or Teen pregnancy Hot line..
Now that I've been helpfull... and didn't say all the things I wanted to...

If your are 16 now , you probably are going to have to listen to what your parents say. Yes you can do what you want, you can see what happens when you do. However because of his age then and now, he can go to jail for having sex with a minor. It doesn't matter that you love him and or agree to have sex with him. This person just broke the law and your parents have the right to press charges against him. Considering that you have been living together for nine months doesn't change anything.

have your self legally emancipated as an Adult. A LOT of teens do this to keep control of their lives and to get out of bad situations. If you don't fully understand the meaning of being emancipated as an adult you can look at this web site or look up emancipated law for th us or your state.
http://usmarriagelaws.com/search/united_states/emancipation_of_minors/index.shtml --just copy and paste. before you try this you must prove that you can take care of yourself and the child... because they will monitor you and if they feel that you can not do it anymore they will revoke it so make sure you have everything in order. but make sure thats really what you want first. hope this helps ~~~good luck~~~

If I read this right, you have been with him since you were 13 and he was 18. That right there should have motivated your mother and grandmother to do something but instead they let you move in at 15-16 with a boy who is 20-21 and watched as you became pregnant by him. I don't know about your legal rights but in most states in America, we're looking at statutory rape, neglect, incorrigible juvenile, and failure to protect an underage girl. If they have removed you from his influence, they have finally come to their senses. Get back with him and you will cause him some serious jail time.
Coming on here and asking us for suggestions on how to get back with him is an offense in itself. You are too young and too immature to make any decisions.
