Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I live in Virginia, and I am 17. Three months away from 18, I have a 11 month old son, me am his father share custody. He's staying with his dad right now while I work some things out in my life. I can't get a full time job, or a job at all cause I'm not the legal 18 age, but with only 3 months till 18, I didn't know if I could get emancipated. I graduated at 16. My house hold is very stressful, I live with my grandparents, my grandmother has physical custody of me. Could I leave without being reported or go through a process to get emancipated quick?

you, i.e., the natural passage of time, rather than to try to "go through a process to get emancipated quick" which is never going to happen.
