    Default Marriage in Florida - Pregnant Teenager

    In Florida, it appears that minors who swear in court that they have a child or are expecting a baby can apply for a marriage license. They must submit to the court a written statement from a licensed physician verifying the pregnancy. This does not guarantee that a marriage license will be issued - the judge will determine after a hearing if the minors should receive a marriage license.
    Quote Quoting Florida Statutes - Domestic Relations - Section 741.0405, When marriage license may be issued to persons under 18 years.
    (1) If either of the parties shall be under the age of 18 years but at least 16 years of age, the county court judge or clerk of the circuit court shall issue a license for the marriage of such party only if there is first presented and filed with him or her the written consent of the parents or guardian of such minor to such marriage, acknowledged before some officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments and administer oaths. However, the license shall be issued without parental consent when both parents of such minor are deceased at the time of making application or when such minor has been married previously.

    (2) The county court judge of any county in the state may, in the exercise of his or her discretion, issue a license to marry to any male or female under the age of 18 years, upon application of both parties sworn under oath that they are the parents of a child.

    3) When the fact of pregnancy is verified by the written statement of a licensed physician, the county court judge of any county in the state may, in his or her discretion, issue a license to marry:
    • (a) To any male or female under the age of 18 years upon application of both parties sworn under oath that they are the expectant parents of a child; or

      (b) To any female under the age of 18 years and male over the age of 18 years upon the female's application sworn under oath that she is an expectant parent.
    (4) No license to marry shall be granted to any person under the age of 16 years, with or without the consent of the parents, except as provided in subsections (2) and (3).

    Default

    In Florida, when a minor is in the custody of his or her parents, the minor's parents must initiate the emancipation process.
