Will Marriage Emancipate a Minor

no they did not they just told me that my mother still had rights over me and I asked the juged at the other courthouse

That is what I seen

unless the court actually entered an order, I would not be overly concerned.

You might go and speak with the other judge and ask him if he can point you to something to prove you are in fact emancipated due to the marriage.

There is case law indicating that a valid marriage emancipates a minor from parental control:

Marriage of the infant emancipates the minor; it does not, however, make the minor sui juris. In Bensinger's Coex'rs, supra, the court declined to hold that an emancipated child must be bound by his contracts and followed the general rule that:

"Although parental emancipation may free the infant from parental control, it does not remove all of the disabilities of infancy. It does not, for example, enlarge or affect the minor's capacity or incapacity to contract."

I noticed that as well somewhere. I also noted that even if emancipated, the minor could still not enter into contracts. Kinda makes the ability to live on your own if so emancipated nearly impossible ... unless, of course, the husband in such a marriage is an adult and can sign a lease agreement or open a bank account and the like on the minor's behalf.

Well my husband is 18 now He's got a job and everything hes had one since we have been married and we got a bank account But we are just stuck

well, if you look up a couple posts, Mr. Know it all provided what you were looking for. You need to get a copy of that court opinion and if you end up in front of the judge that said you were not emancipated, give it to him.
