07-16-2017, 10:59 PMTaxing MattersRe: What Happens if a Minor Moves Out of the U.S.If the 17 year-old is married and emancipated that 17 year-old is not under the control of his/her parents any more and, at least for the U.S. side of things, the parents would have no legal means to stop the kid from going wherever he or she wants to go. What the other country will require, on the other hand, depends on its laws and those might be very different from the U.S.Quote:

You can't just pick up and move to another country. Doesn't matter what your age is. The other country has to accept you as a resident. It is quite unlikely that a 17 year old, married or not, emancipated or not, will qualify.

Read my post #18 in this thread, in which I discuss the difficulties of an adult moving to England. ALL countries have such requirements, it's not just England. Read them and then tell me whether you think your child has moved outside the US.
And have we established for certain that she IS married? -
07-20-2017, 05:45 PMTaxing MattersRe: What Happens if a Minor Moves Out of the U.S.Whether she can get a visa is entirely up to the other country. The laws of each nation are different, sometimes very different, on this. So there is no way anyone here can say whether or not she might get a visa to go to some unknown country and what the conditions might be attached to any visa she does get.Quote:

Is America great or what?!
(What I'm saying is that it's pretty easy to find out the visa requirements of a given country ;) ) -
07-20-2017, 08:53 PMTaxing MattersRe: What Happens if a Minor Moves Out of the U.S.It’s easy to get the very basics for at least a number of countries. The level of detail you can get for any particular country varies a lot. Moreover, laws in a lot of countries are complex and those general resources will not always be good predictors of whether any particular person will be issued a visa and what conditions attach to it. There are some countries that have stated rules but in practice do something else because of the politics of that country. Remember, not all nations share a commitment to the rule of law that the U.S. and Western European nations do. Thus, in some countries it can come down to the whim of those in power on the particular day they review the application. That said, the internet at least provides a starting point to figuring out if someone might have a shot at a visa.Quote:

We seem to have veered off topic from whether a parent of a married emancipated minor can move out of the country without the parents permission. Whether or not the minor has a visa, if required, is also not relevant to the legalities of the above query.
A married minor can move out of the US. When they are emancipated (in most states marriage=emancipation) The parents have no legal control over or responsibility for their children's actions. What this means for you is that you cannot stop them. There is nothing you can do about it. They're married and no longer yours to control.
This is as simple as it gets.
