    Exclamation Marriage Of 17 Year Old Female To 20 Year Old Male In Texas

    i'll be 18 this coming august and my fiancee just turned 20 last month, but we want to get married in the next month or two. i'll have consent from at least one of my parents (my father) but do i need my mother's consent as well? i need to know exactly what i have to do to obtain a marriage license in this situation.
    i'm also pregnant (but soon getting an abortion) and looking to get emancipated so i do not need parental consent for the abortion. my parents are both catholic and pro-life. there are enough problems between my parents and i without me having to ask one of them to sign the medical forms for an abortion, so they absolutely cannot find out unless i have no other options. we have the money to pay for an abortion, but we can't afford any court fees or any extra expenses.
    we're moving out of my mother's apartment sometime in the next month and will be entirely self-sufficient, but even when we move, there's still the problem of getting the abortion and marriage license without my mother's consent.
    please help.

    The emancipation process will likely last past your 18th birthday so of no use.

    According to Hidalgo County,
    Quote Quoting Minor Applicants (16 years of age or older but under 18)
    Minors must have their original or certified copy of their birth certificate that includes the parent(s) name(s). We do not accept hospital records. Parents must be present to sign a parental consent from. In case of divorced parents, the parent with legal custody of the minor is required to sign the parental consent form and is also required to bring the final divorce decree signed by the Judge. Court appointed legal guardians must present the court order signed by a Judge. Parents are required to present identification.
    Your emancipation issues are under discussion here.

    First off let me commend you on your decision to abort. I too am Pro life but feel that it's a womans choice and every situation is different. I commend you on understanding the implications and responsiblity that goes along with having a child. Its too bad other kids don't see it this way.

    I also find it amazing that a child must get consent to have an abortion but not to go to the Dr and get a birth control pill at the age of 14 WITHOUT consent! And please don't tell me it's a surgical procedure etc etc.....BCP are HORMONES that can affect your ability to concieve later in life (as well as a whole other host of complications).

    Not that I'm condoning any criminal act...this is strictly hypothetical but do the parents HAVE to be with you during the abortion? Or can they just have the signatures? I used to sign my parents name pretty well!

    You can also try talking to your father. From a parents point of view, if he's already willing to do emancipation, hes more open minded than he's giving you credit for. Catholic guilt is a wonderful thing isn't it? There is also adoption to consider. I advise you to tell a parent ....what is the worst that's gonna happen? Take ear plugs and place them in your ears right after so at least you can deflect some of the yelling. Good luck!
