    Emancipation from one state to another
    Well, My girlfreind lives in a pure shit hole. Her father is abusive, and a drunk. He neglects her, and she doesnt deserve this. I was wondering if she was to be emmancipated from MN to SC, would she first have to go through MN laws, or could somehow she qualify for the SC state emancipation laws, beings she will be moving down here if she does? I really need some answers as to how to get her out of that place. Please help me out, I'll take any thing possible that can work.

    Emancipation
    She would attempt to emancipate in the state and county in which she is a legal resident.

    Her state is Minnesota, anything at all we can do to get her out of her current household?

    Minnesota Emancipation Law
    Minnesota has no formal emancipation process. There is case law indicating that emancipation is possible through legal marriage or parental consent.

    So nothing can be done that doesnt directly involve her fathers consent?

    Marriage Abroad
    As a general rule, most jurisdictions will recognize marriages that are valid in the state or nation where they occurred. This has yet to be fully tested with same sex marriages, but is certainly the case with traditional marriage. While some nations provide for the expedited naturalization of the spouses of their nationals who marry abroad, that is not universally the case - if you intend to marry abroad to a foreign nationalal, then return with your spouse to your country of origin, it makes sense to explore possible immigration problems that might arise before you set your wedding date. Also, if you plan to gain citizenship in a foreign nation following marriage, you should verify in advance whether doing so will terminate your citizenship in your nation of origin.


    I'm making certian this is what I think it is, but, Is it possible if she came from Minnesota to South Carolina, we could get married under the south carolina Marriage rules, without her fathers consent?

    Marriage in South Carolina
    As I understand South Carolina's marriage laws, for a minor to get a marriage license the minor would have to present a notarized statement of parental consent.
