If you are 17 and pregnant in Wisconsin can your mother kick you out of the house if she finds out?

Answer 1

according to the law, she is responsible for you, what you did doesn't make you a adult. you can call social services for your area and get more help and info on the subject. or human services can direct you. if she gets mad and tries to kick you out, she can be charged with neglect and child abandonment. if you are close to turning 18 that may be a different story. some states won't let 18 year olds buy cigarettes until they turn 21. just because you are 17 doens't mean you are an adult, you made a mistake and she should help you thru it. she will be mad, that's understandable. if you know your mother can't afford the pregnancey, found out from the health department about you check ups and the other things you will need. make up the responsiblity by doing your home work and what you can do on your part. but the government departments mentioned may make you bring your mother since she is over you and they may need proof of income for you to seek help. only your mother can provide that. but there may be some help and privacy out there . good luck
