    Default Emancipation For A Teen Mom

    I live in Colorado, my girlfriend is 14 and is about to have our baby. I read somewhere that once she has the baby she is automatically emancipated. We want to get merried but I'm not sure how to go about this. Her parents have almost given her consent but I would like to know what rights she has as a teen mom.

    MEDICALLY she's emancipated, but legally she is under her parents care and control for another 8 years.

    How old are you? Were you planning on living together?

    I'm 20. Her father lifted Statutory Rape charges againt me but later tried to drop the charge. She told me she was 17 when we met over a year ago. They (her parents) knew we were dating this whole time. Yes, we plan on moving in together.

    Get an attorney...When this child is born you are in for some serious legal trouble. Her parents too. Stay away form her in the meantime. You are really in a lot of trouble. Get an attorney TOMMOROW!

    You are not getting it! You committed a crime by having sex with/impregnating a 14 year old girl. There is proof of your crime. The Doctors and the hospital staff are mandated reporters and will report this to the appropriate authorities. Her parent have also committing a crime for allowing this kind of relationship between their 14 year old daughter and a 20 year old MAN! They very well could face criminal charges and having their parental rights taken away. You need to discuss this with a criminal defense attorney right away.

    so you were hitting this when she was 13, maybe even 12 years old?


    She must have matured extremely early for you to believe she was 17.

    Dad or mom do not have to press the charges. The state will pick up the charges without them. The baby (with you DNA) is proof you had sex with an very young girl. Ignorance of true age is generally not an acceptable defense.

    you really do need to speak with an attorney.

    She'll be 15 in a month. I found out she was 14 when she told me she was pregnant. She doesn't look her age at all. Thanks everyone.

    it doesn;t make any diff that she is about to turn 15 though. The fact she has been pregnant for (around) nine months proves you had sex with a 14 y.o. girl.

    go find an attorney plus get out the checkbook for the medical expenses as well (and child support) It's all coming.

    She looked 17?! That I doubt but if you were not blind with lust maybe. anyhow the best advice has been given over and over. Find an Attorney yesterday! you are facing serious charges, prison and registering as a sex offender! This will follow you through life and will effect any job you apply for, rentals almost everything!
