[QUOTE="slsh, post: 244434, member: 8"] [URL]http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?p=130017[/URL] Apparently, a pregnant teen is medically emancipated but not legally emancipated, meaning you are still legally and financially responsible for the teen and she still has to follow your rules. Teen makes medical decisions about baby. I can't find it for sure but I'm guessing since you're financially responsible for teen, you're also financially responsible for the baby (hypothetically speaking!).

I'll keep looking. I did find a statement that in no state does pregnancy automatically confer legal emancipation - it only confers medical emancipation. Sounds like something Residential Treatment Center (RTC) may want to consider.:faint: Reality testing, anyone? Sigh... [/QUOTE]
