    Default Parents Cutting Off Contact With Boyfriend

    I need help, I am 16, names rachel, I live in arkansas. I recently got pregnant by my 20 year old boyfriend. We've been together for along time. I last month misscarried. My parents were fine with our relationship till i misscarried. That when my dad told me I had to cuthim out of my life. I can't do that. So we got our own cellphones. I didn't see him I just talked to him on the phone. Well my dad filed a FINS order on me (Family INneeds of Service). He also told me that if he found out about me talking to my boyfriend he would file harrassment charges on him. Can he do that? What can i do to continue seeing byran? Is there a way i can get out of this perdicament. I have no onther family.

    You can do nothing. Your parents are within their rights to take the action they say. It isnt easy though.

    Bryan is lucky that your parents aren't filing charges against him already (Such as for sexual assault/rape).
    If he's as great as you think he is, he'll wait for you. If not, you're better off without him anyway.

    In order for charges to be filed, there has to be a crime. No crime has been described.

    Could be that I'm assuming too much but last I knew, there were some states that would define sex with someone under 18 as a crime. If she was pregnant by him, they had sex. That's all I was going by.

    In some states that would be true...But OP identified her state as Ar. and in THAT state no crime has/was committed. You must adjust your answer for the state in question.

    § 5-14-103

    Rape is engaging in sexual intercourse with someone under age 14 who is at least three years younger.

    Fourth-degree sexual assault if someone age 20 or older engages in sexual intercourse with someone under age 16.

    There have not been any facts alleged which would demonstrate "contributing to the delinquency of a minor". See Arkansas Code § 5-27-220.

    My parents have forbidden me from contact with my girlfriend and I can tell you from experince that by law theres nothing you can do. Until your 18 what your parents say pretty much goes whether you agree with it or not.

    My advice would be not to fight it. The law is on your parents side, I'm not sure if they can file a harassment charge (they probably can but don't quote me) I can say that my parents were about to file a restraining order against my girlfriend before sending me away. So if they really want to keep you two away from one another they CAN.

    I would recomend you let things cool down. Maybe then you and your parents can discuss things without bringing in the law.
