My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
Hello all and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!
I'm a political science major ('14 graduate!) and have a general grasp of the legal system, but I do need some help!
I was emancipated at the age of 16 by the State of Florida, ordered by a circuit court judge. This, to my understanding, removed my "disabilities of non-age". Now, I know that as an emancipated minor I still needed to be of age to purchase certain products (Tobacco, Alcohol, etc) as these are set by federal/state statutes. However, even though FL stat. does provide specific ages for the classification of stat. rape, I was wondering that, since, the "disabilities of non-age" have been removed and I'm-in the eyes of the court-considered an adult, if this is a valid reason to seek a motion for dismissal or at the very least a legal defense that can be presented during trial?
I'm going to the circuit that ordered the emancipation tomorrow and requesting a couple certified copies. Should I send a copy of one to the state attorney or just to the attorney representing my ex?
I also feel it important to note that DCF found this out by an unauthorized third party at my psychiatrists office (my psychiatrist DID NOT call or tell anyone to call). This information was discussed with my health care provider in a clinical setting and was recorded in my medical file (hence how it was breached).
