Do I Need to Be Emancipated?

If an adult, parent or otherwise, knows that a child is being raped and/or facilitates the rape of that child, the adult will suffer additional charges.

Age of consent means just that. That is the age where, by law, a person is deemed old enough to say yes to sex.

First of all, i find it very hard to believe that a sexual act between two people below the age of consent, yet still very close in age would push the limits of any definition of "rape", statutory or no... technically neither of us are old enough to say, or scream, "yes", so who is raping whom?

Second, a small detail i forgot to mention: my girlfriends mother doesnt work and is constantly at home due to disability. If i were to move in with her and her parents, there would still be very little, "alone time" and shes not exactly the type of mom that will let us rip our clothes off and go at it!

Usually, there are age cushions to statutory rape. However, you may still be liable for other charges... just not rape.

---

Last, what are these "other charges" you've mentioned?

The law says you can both then be victims and rapists.

And there have been cases tried like that across the country.

Which means nothing.

No judge in any jurisdiction will emancipate you so that you can play house with your girlfriend. None.

Depends on the jurisdiction and the inclination of the local DA.

I dont know if you recall, but I thought i made it clear that i was not exactly interested in emancipation! That was my dads idea and it is officially out the window! So in order to move on to other related topics do i have to start a new thread in order for you to stop bringing it up? :rolleyes:

So, what is your question?

Is there any legal change, not emancipation, that would have to occur before i move in with them, assuming i choose that path of action? if so, what?

May I assume that you want to go to school with you new sister?

Then the parents of your former girlfriend can file for guardianship from your parents.

Otherwise, you will go to the school district in which your parents live.

Once guardianship is established, then you can live there... if BOTH of your parents agree.

I'm assuming that the terms "new sister" and "former girlfriend" refer to my current girlfriend? also, the place in which she lives is quite literally in the middle of nowhere. She goes to my high school, yet lives 30 miles from it. The possibility of her moving in with us has been explored, however we have determined my family isn't in the financial position, nor would she have a place to sleep, unlike at her house which has 2 spare rooms.

Does this absolutely HAVE to occur? or is it legal to get by without change in guardianship?

I wasn't being cute. Depending on your local authorities, children with the same guardian may be considered in a family relationship... and, therefore, hands off you new sister.

Sorta like foster parents, but without the government cheese.

As for your other question, why is it whenever I state something that you ask me if I was serious when I said it?

YES, if both mommy and daddy have a custodial guardianship over you, then both have to sign off on a change in that guardianship. Or, more precisely, one may gum up the works if NOT included to the point where it won't happen.
