    Oh heck yes, there is a lot she could do...including getting you arrested. The legal age to consent to sex has absolutely nothing to do with the legal age of majority. If mom doesn't want you around her daughter she can even get a restraining order against you. If daughter runs away and moves in with you then you would be harboring a runaway.

    Louisiana appears to be one of the states where juvenile court authority ends at 17, so I think the question translates to "If she can run away without getting hauled off to juvie, why can her mommy still say I can't date her."

    However - age of Legal Adult is still 18 in Louisiana. http://www.lsba.org/PublicResources/...pAdulthood.pdf

    Once she turns 18, she can move out. Until then, her parents can get a restraining order.

    My advice would be for her to concentrate on school, get a part-time job and start saving up. Once she turns 18 and moves in with you, her parents have no obligation to support her financially.

    If her parents have told you to keep off their property and leave them alone, no, you cannot trespass on their property or harass them or their children without consequence.

    If you love her, you can keep it in your pants for a few months.

    Wherever did you get that stupid idea?

    Her parents can absolutely file for a restraining order, have you charged with trespassing if you violate it, and have you tossed into jail. Is getting in on with a minor worth a criminal record? Leave her be til she's legal, then you can ride off into whatever sunset you two want.

    They don't need a restraining order to say "Keep off our property" and to seek trespass charges if their instruction isn't followed.

    If things build to the point in time when they might qualify for a restraining order, those would be enforced through contempt proceedings.

    We cannot predict the future for you. If you want somebody to give you permission or tell you there will be no consequences, we can't do that.

    Again...I say just wait til she turns 18 and she can move out.
    Again...right now she should concentrate on school and get a part-time job. Once she turns 18, her parents have no obligation for financial support. So she should get a job, start saving money, and hope the job has benefits.

    I should also mention - anything she owns that her parents purchased - she is not entitled to. That means her clothes, furniture, bed, etc. She can remove from the home anything she has receipts for to prove she purchased herself. So seriously - between now and when she turns 18 and moves in with you - she should keep receipts for even a tube of mascara if she wants to pack it with her.

    Note - if she walks out the door the minute she turns 18 and moves in with you - there is likely to be a great big divide between her and her parents. Which she can never take back.
