Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

I am going to be 18 in 4 months i found out two days ago that i am pregnant, i have told my legal guardian, my aunt, and when i returned home she declared i am not to speak or see my baby's father (he will be 18 this July). I told him, before i had everything taken from me, and he is furious. He wants me and the baby to move in with him and his sister, who is 26 years old. My aunt is refusing to take me to the doctor, even though the appointment was suggested by the hospital, and refuses to fill a prescription for me, also issued by the hospital. These do not seem to be grounds for emancipation from what i have read, is there anything i can do?

I strongly recommend you call social services (Cabinet for Health and Family Services) and report medical neglect. The worst that could happen is being in foster care for four months, but at least you will get the medical attention you and your baby deserve.
