If i am a 17yr old pregnant teen,can my mother keep me away from the baby's father? If the father is willing to take care of the child,and i have a stable place to live,and being forced to be somewhere i don't want to,can i be forced to stay? I am mentally abused,and tormented. Is there anything i can do to legally break away?

Your mother cannot keep the father of your child away from you or the child. She does, however, have a say as to who enters her home (as it is her property). You can file for emancipation and will not have to wait to be treated as an adult when your turn 18. For assistance with being emancipated, please contact me at 1-800-408-5818..
