Answer 1

You can legally move out at the age of 17.  However, I don't recommend it.  I know it is difficult right now and your mother arguing with you isn't helping.  Try to trust her though.  She has taken care of you all these years and truly has Your best interests at heart.  Maybe, if you both talked to each other as adult, you could come to a reasonable agreement on the issue.  Act like the adult you now are and think of the baby you are about to have as you.  Put yourself in your mothers shoes.  Once you can see both sides I'm sure you come to an agreement that you both can live with.  Good Luck and I wish you all the best!

Answer 2

Minors under the age of 18 do not have rights, you are the responsibility of your parents.
