    Question Emancipation by Marriage in Arkansas

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Arkansas.
    I am 18 an my girlfriend is 16, almost 17. She is under joint custody, and her mother (who has secondary custody) is willing to sign for her to be married. Is her mother able to sign for her and will the marriage emancipate her from her parents completely?

    Marriage will emancipate her completely, but she will need permission from her LEGAL custodial parent.

    Okay. And her mother does have some legal custody I'm assuming, considering she is labeled as secondary custody. Thank you very much!!!

    Don't assume.

    If Dad has primary, his signature will likely be needed.

    You could always wait out the year-and-whatever until she turns 18 - then there would be no legal impediment.
