Can your pregnant 17-year-old girlfriend move out of her home in Vermont?

In Vermont, 18 is the legal age of majority, meaning your pregnant girlfriend is considered a minor and her legal guardian is responsible for her. However, Vermont has a provision that allows unwed minors who are pregnant or have a child to be considered "emancipated." This means that she can be considered an adult and have the same rights as adults. To achieve this, she will have to either:

1. Get married;

2. Join the military;

3. Be declared competent to manage their affairs; or

4. Be declared self-supporting and managing their own affairs for at least six consecutive months.

If your girlfriend can not meet any of the above criteria, she will not be able to move out without her guardian's consent.
