My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: texas
yes.
well.
as absurd as this may sound to everyone.
here it goes.
me and my girlfriend (16 going to be 17, 08/14/09) are VERY MUCH in love.
i can go on in many paragraphs expressing my love for her and trying to explain how we are perfect for each other. but i don't think that would result in many responses.
uhm. so where should i start
basically. her parents are crazy and wont let us date or even 'seem like we're dating'. they stress us out and we are having to worry every day whether or not they're going to let us talk to each other another day. their reasoning in acting this way is simply because i am not perfect and have had sex before and now have a baby. an AMAZING one year old actually.
and sense they're 'perfect'.. they don't want their daughter with someone who is HUMAN and have made mistakes
ANYWAYS (i can go on and on)
my question is what can i do?
i've figured out it's a possibility that she can just leave when she is seventeen and as long as her parents know where she is, they can't file for a missing person report. or whatever.
but I THINK that that option also is unsafe for me cause i think they can get me in trouble for housing her and encouraging her behavior.
the other option is emancipation. and as far as i'm concerned with that she can just get emancipated and we'd be home free from her parents and any other trouble in the future that we can't handle.
but of course it's not for sure that her parents would condone that AT ALL and wouldnt sighn the papers. and i've heard that if she files for emancipation by herself it can take a LONG time and it's not even for sure.
and if we should go for emancipation. i know she can do that right now since she is 16. so if that is the option. should we just go for it now?
how does emancipation work. and such
thank you for your time. please give me real information.
