    Default Does Emancipation Become Reversed After Teens Divorce

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Louisiana
    A teen that I know and love had been in state care most of their life.mothers rights were terminated and the teen lived with their father in horrible circumstances.He agreed for them to get married.If the 16 year old gets married(Their father signed for this)then decides before they are 18 to divorce,Will the emancipation be reversed?
    Also if the person divorces and wants to move in with a family in another state,Would it be kidnapping?I am the mother in the other family.She has nobody in her family that can care for her,and we would surely have her live with us though right now am unsure of the laws concerning this situation.

    Default Re: Does Emancipation Become Reversed After Teens Divorce

    In many states if a minor is emancipated by virtue of an underaged marriage, and the marriage ends while he/she is still a minor, then yes, the emancipation is void and the teen reverts back to being under the care and control of their parents/legal guardian. I don't know about LA specifically but it semes likely.

    Assuming that this proves true, then she could live with you IF she had her father's permission. If she did not, then I don't know about kidnapping specifically but you definitely could get into legal trouble if you allowed her to come anyway.
