I have a 2 year old and pregnant now I will be 18 in a month. Can my parents keep me from taking my child and moving out?
5 ANSWERS
No. But you may have to wait a month. Do you have a place to go and a support system? A 2 year old is a big responsibility.

You can take the children and move out when you are 18.

No. However, given your age, can you support yourself and your child, let alone a second one and are there issues with regard to your ability to take on adult responsibility since you've been pregnant twice before you're even 18. If there are issues, your parents can easily intervene and seek third party custody of the the 2 year old or seek intervention by CPS.

When you turn 18 you are fully emancipated under the law and can live where you want with your children. They can try to obtain custody of your child if they can prove you are unfit in someway, ie.. on drugs, criminal activity, mentally incapable etc. Short of that you are the sole custodial parent for your children.
