However, that is dated September 16, 2002.
I'm not stating a new law was passed, as I didn't see any of the laws pertaining to this repealed. I also didn't find anything new.
I'd be curious as to what she finds out from the attorney.
HERE IS WHAT I FOUND-I WAS MARRIED AT 16 AND I WAS CONSIDERED EMANCIPATED.
Emancipation of Children
What is emancipation?
When a child is emancipated, the child's parents have no further duty to support the child. In addition, parents have no right to control an emancipated child's behavior or make certain decisions for the child.
(2) Marriage. In most cases, a minor child is emancipated when he or she gets married.
* Note: An unmarried minor child who becomes pregnant or has a child is not emancipated.
(3) Armed Forces. In most cases, a minor child is emancipated when he or she joins the armed forces.
(4) Self-emancipation. A minor child may be declared self-emancipated by a court if the child has left the parents' home and become self-sufficient. A child is never automatically self-emancipated. A child must obtain a court order before he or she is self-emancipated.
