Emancipated: Emancipation of minors is a legal mechanism by which a minor is freed from control by his or her parents or guardians, and the parents or guardians are freed from any and all responsibility toward the child. At 17 and with child, you may be an emancipated minor and can make you own decisions without your parents consent. Best case, you try to maturely discuss your situation with your parents.
