    Default Re: 16 and Married Leaves Her Home and Child for Days. What Can Be Done

    It's hard to know what you're trying to achieve here. If grandma is taking care of the baby, because neither you nor mom want to shoulder that responsibility, then it can hardly be said that mom's abandoning the child - from what you have said, it appears to b your mutual choice to let grandma take care of the child.

    If your concern is that your wife floats in and out of the house, doing as she pleases, treating you more like a hotelier or a babysitter than as a spouse... well, she's sixteen, and I doubt that anybody who's dealt with teenagers is going to be surprised by that. Neither maternity nor marriage will transform a teenager into an adult. You may have been happy during the time you thought you were being a perfect husband, but it seems more than safe to infer that she was not.

    If she's not missing, there's no point in "reporting her missing". If the marriage isn't working out, there's always the option of divorce.

    You really need to read this yahoo's other post to get the full story.

    His teenage wife left him and he was then charged for going after another teen.

    This isn't quite as cut and dried as it sounds... and yes, that was sarcasm.

    You can report her missing if the authorities will even take a report.

    Once she married, she became an adult in the eyes of the law and emancipated from her parents. You didn't marry an adult, but a teenager, and now you have to deal with her teenage behavior. Your choice is to get a divorce and custody of the child.

    Can you force your wife to live at home if she doesn't want to live with you any more? No, you cannot.

    And I totally agree with that. But I don’t think that’s the case, she wants to live here. And it seems like she still loves me. And from what her friends says, She still does. She still lives here. Its just that when she gets ready to run off with her friends for a whole weekend. She ask me first if I mind if she go off. But if I tell her I don’t want her to go. She goes anyway. And I know she been seeing other guys. She lie about it, because she says… she don’t want to hurt me. I told her I cant deal with this anymore and if she going to keep doing this she need to move back with her mom. But she don’t want to live with her mom. Her mom lives about three hours from here. She don’t know anybody down there, plus her mom wouldn’t let her do what she wants. She lived with her sister for about a week. They called me to come get her, they kicked her out for lying to them.. I see now that I’m way to old for her. And that she gets bored around here. So she trying to have her cake and eat it too. I been letting her do this, because I feel responsible for ruining her life. I know there is two sides to every story, so I’m being honest as I can be here. But its like this.. If a kidnapper realizes that he has made a terrible mistake. Should he then turn his victim loose in the middle of the desert?.
    I would like for her to move back in with her mama, so she help take care of our son.
