pregnant teens marriage legal consent Posted: 03-20-08 22:45pm
Well
my girlfriend is pregnant. We want to get
married, but her parents are sorta yes and
no about it. We don't want to wait because
they always change there mind. We want go
to Georgia to get married. No consent
required for pregnant teens.
Could her parents retaliate and try to
file charges?
I'm 17 and she's 16.

In SOME states, pregnant teens are
considered LEGAL ADULTS, so you need to
find out where you stand as far as your
state law is concerned.
ONCE you have a child, you ARE a legal
adult.
IS she moving in with YOU, because
obviously you do not want to live with her
parents.
Once you are married they cannot file
charges.
DO you feel you are truly ready to have a
baby?
What would you say to YOUR child if she
wanted a baby at 16?
