    Default Colorado Emancipation Law

    Under Colorado law,
    Quote Quoting Colorado Children's Code, Section 19-1-103(45)
    "Emancipated juvenile", as used in section 19-2-511, means a juvenile over fifteen years of age and under eighteen years of age who has, with the real or apparent assent of the juvenile's parents, demonstrated independence from the juvenile's parents in matters of care, custody, and earnings. The term may include, but shall not be limited to, any such juvenile who has the sole responsibility for the juvenile's own support, who is married, or who is in the military.
    Under Colorado's marriage law, at 16 she can legally marry if she has consent from both parents, or obtains a court order permitting the marriage.

    so ur saying she can be emancipated if we get married? and if her parents wont grant us then we can get a courts permission? would they grant us permission due to the fact that she is pregnet and i would like to take care of my child?

    I don't have enough facts to predict what a court may or may not do.
