Re: emanicipation
You need to hire a lawyer to represent your son. As the biological father of the child, his rights are equal to hers, but has to have a method to enforce those rights. A Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship is appropriate avenue.
Re: emanicipation
Legal emancipation to get married because of pregnancy is not likely. The baby belongs to the girl. Her mother does not have custody without a court order. Someone could file a Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship for the pregnant minor to have custody taken away from her mother so that the child could have her child without interference. Sounds expensive to me. Good Luck.
