More details to this question:
My 15 year son and his 16 year old girlfriend just gave birth to my grandson. The GF wishes to move in with my wife and me. Does child birth automatically emancipate her under Florida statute?
1 ANSWER
No it does not. Chapter 743 of Florida Statutes lists the various ways that a child under 18 may emancipate. Child birth is not grounds to automatically remove what is called "the disability of nonage." A petition may be filed to emancipate her, but it must be filed for the minor by her parent or legal guardian.
