I am 23 and dating a 15 year old. What legal rights does she have to defy her mother and see me?
|
I am a 23 year old man, dating a 15 year old girl. She is extremely mature and sensible and very intelligent, and we are sincerely in love. Her mother and sisters are cruel to her and constantly verbally abuse her.
Her mother doesn't want us to be together. From a legal standpoint, what are the girl's rights to go out and make her decisions in Arizona at the ages of 15, 16, and 17? This includes leaving the house, the mother's ability to block her from seeing me, etc.
Thank you.

Man. You like to live dangerously. Ever hear that phrase "15 will get you 20?" |

As I understand it - she has no real rights at all as she is still under her parents jurisdiction. The mom could, if she so decided, have you arrested for statuatory rape. That's the reason underage girls are called "jailbait". |

3 years difference makes it illegal if one is over 18, that could be statutory rape (if you ya know), but if you truly love her take it easy until she is 18 |

She is a minor. She has NO rights. If she wants to leave the house before she's 18, she needs to go to court and get emancipated.
And if I was her mother, I wouldn't let you see her either. |

LOL that is actually 100% illegal and you probably are going to go to jail if the mother wanted you to. |

Jacob,your courting trouble bigtime.the mother could take legal action against you,that would most certainly stand up in court.15 year old girls change their mind all the time,so that has a potential of backfiring on you as well. |

I hope you have said your goodbyes to your family. The only legal right she has is to beg her mom not to charge you with statutory rape. |

I think under 16 is illegal in this nation and it is a felony..
You may be arrested if you are violating that states code. |

She is a minor..she has no right to defy her mother...as for you..you are in line for being on megans list for life after a few years in prison...even if you kiss her is illegal.
I doubt she is that mature...I believe you are immature. |

HELLO! That is statutory rape. She is a child. You could go to jail. |

I"m sorry to tell you this, but she is still considered a minor..No Matter how mature she seems. The only way to probably intervene on her behalf is to call Child Protective Services if things at home are really that bad. Or just hang in there until she is considered to be an adult whether that be age 16,17 or 18 depending on the state. Note that means she may have to move out of her mom's house if she is going to defy her rules |

None. I hope her mom calls the cops on you. |

The child is still a minor regardless how mature she may seem to be. She has no legal right as a minor. You have a position where you can be charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and in this state that is a serious offense punishable with prison time. Apparently you are not too mature yourself. |
|

hello:-)
|
wow.
look you even called her a 15 year old GIRL. she isnt old enough to do anything with you i dont think. and i wouldnt be too happy if my daughter was 15 and dating a 23 year old either.
but it is very sad that she is being abused... |

craving anonymity i assume you skew the facts a bit and ''she'' is really a 15 year old boy....and you are a NAMBLA man. |

At the moment she has NO rights, as she is a minor. She can approach a judge to request to be emancipated and that would give her full rights to live her own life. However, it may still not be legal for you to do naughty things together, so it may not be in your best interest to bring any courts into the equation if anything like that has happened.
Good luck. |

Maybe you should try something new. Have you ever went to new sites online to try to meet people like http://www.OneRush.com or htp://www.MeJab.com if you need to vent about it? |

If I were you I would back out of this situation before the mother has you arrested for statuatory rape which is the mothers right. Mature or not she is only 15 and you are 23. |
