I hope this is the appropriate place to put this thread, if not feel free to redirect .

I am currently seventeen(17) years of age and have just gotten engaged to my boyfriend of one(1) year who is eighteen(18) years of age. I have already looked up and studied my states marriage laws. It states that with proper identification , parental consent and signiture I can legally marry. But, my real question is, me being under the legal age to be qualified as an "Adult" how will that affect our future purchases. Will I be able to co-sign on things, will him and I both be able to put our names on leases, loans, ect..I tried doing my own research but, I couldn't figure out what exactly I was looking for or how to phrase my searches.

If you all could help me with this I'd appreciate it very much. Links, replies , anything would be helpful.

Thank you,
Noona
