    Default Can I Get Emancipated

    My question involves guardianship in the State of: Texas.

    I am 16 years old in Texas. My mom doesn't approve of my boyfriend that i've been with for 2 years now. We plan to get married, him being 18 and in the Marines. He has a job and a place of his own. Thsi isn't a way for me to "shack up" with my boyfriend but i have full intent on marrying him. I know my mom will want to fight it, because we aren't even allowed to speak by her rules. I was just wondering if this would be possible if she tries to go against me in this.

    Nope.

    You're not getting married without your parents' consent.

    The court isn't going to emancipate you so you can go and get married.

    Please - READ at least some other threads about emancipation!

    Get the idea right out of your mind, toots, because neither marriage nor emancipation is going to happen.

    There is no state, repeat, NO state where you can be married at 16 without permission of your parents, the court, or both, and in Texas, your parent or guardian must give WRITTEN consent on an official form filled out in the presence of the county clerk.

    A sixteen year old in Texas must ALREADY be living on her own AND SUPPORTING HERSELF (which does not mean living with her boyfriend and him providing full or partial support) before a court would even CONSIDER emancipation, and it's not guaranteed even then. And since you'd have to have your mother's permission before you could be living on your own, the entire point is moot. Nor will any court emancipate you so that you can get married against the will of your parents.

    This dog's not gonna hunt.
