What's Considered Emancipation?
My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: PA
My 16yr old is planning to get married, I'm assuming her custodial father is permitting her to do so~I know that the laws in PA are if minor child gets married that is an automatic emancipation. I know that neither one of them have a job, drivers liscence, and they are both still in school. I'm under the assumption that they both plan to live with the custodial parent~being supported by him...Does this constitute an actual emancipation?
Non-Custodial Parents Rights
My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: PA
My 16yr old daughter is planning to get married~I'm totally against it but her father(custodial parent) is going to permit it, however I have a feeling that this is all to mess up my visitation rights. I feel that he is allowing this and is going to allow the both of them to be supported by him..I know this sounds crazy because most teens want to leave the home ASAP and "do what they want", but my ex has continued to do whatever he can to frustrate visits. My question is: In the state of PA is it considered full emancipation if my 16yr gets permission to marry and they do not have any means of support on their own, but needs to be supported by my ex?
Re: Considered Emancipation?
Usually, marriage grants SOME of the rights of emancipation... for instance, they still can't drink and smoke, but can keep themselves healthy and in school.
Do YOU want to approve this?
Re: Considered Emancipation?
Oh, absolutly not..I do not approve what's so ever! But, according to what I hear she only needs one parents permission to marry.
Re: Considered Emancipation?
The custodial parent may authorize marriage.
