Honey, who is 16? A 16 year old must comply with her parent's orders, unless there are some very drastic circumstances. A 16 year old must also have a parent's consent and a court order to become emancipated.

If you are abused and need help, you can email me, and I will find some help for you.

YOu can try to prevent your child from attaining emancipation but she is a mother and can apply for same with the court. A circuit court has jurisdiction to remove the disabilities of nonage of a minor age 16 or older residing in this state upon a petition filed by the minor's natural or legal guardian or, if there is none, by a guardian ad litem.
