Question

I am 21 years old and i have my girlfriend who is 17 years old we live together for over a year now, She was in a foster home before that because of family problems, My family really love her and so do i and i want her to marry me so we can make our lives better, but the thing is that her family dont talk to her and dont want anything to do with her and dont care about her. There is no way for them to sign the marrige papers since she is under 19 years old and since they dont see her. Is there any other way that we can handle this sittuation? or is there anyone else that can sign for her?

Answer

What you can do is contact social services and the court and see what steps you need to take to make her an emancipated minor. Since she is a award of the State, they are usually pretty glad to do this. Each State and Country is just a little different about the steps to do this. Social services should be able to give you all the information you need to begin to apply for this. Since her parents want nothing to do with her, she is lucky to have such a loving home now. Your parents could also apply as Foster care providers. Then she could legally live there until the court emancipates her. At that time she can do what ever she wants. I hoped this helped you!
