The father filed for Custody of his 16 yr old daughter on 4/24/07 due to drugs being found in the mothers home. The mother received the papers on 4/27/07. On 5/1/07 the mother signed for the daughter to marry. They picked up the marriage license on 5/4/07. The daughter came for her normal visit and said nothing. She found out her child support would be paid on 5/9/07. Father already had Joint Legal Custody which requires the mother to at least inform him of any decisions that affect the childs "health, welfare, or education". They did not inform him prior. In fact, the child text the father a message to wish him a Happy Anniversary and then include "Umm me and Jade got married yesterday". Now the Judge is questioning whether he has legal standing to find the mother in contempt of court. He state the child is emancipated and therefore the case is dead in the water. We are arguing that the mother was in contempt prior to the emancipation since she did not inform him prior to.

If the daughter was emancipated prior to the father filing for custody it is probably dead in the water. But if the father had joint custody looks like he would have had to agree to the emancipation to make it legal. Really it all falls on the laws in which the state you are in and as laws change from state to state I would check with a lawyer within you state.

The father could and should have the marriage annulled. The child is only emancipated due to the marriage. Sounds like her mother has taught her to be dishonest and deceitful. The marriage should be annulled and the father should be granted custody. Then let the mother pay child support. Fight it, she is just a child.

In Arkansas a boy/girl can be married with parents consent at the age of 14, and last year a 14 year old girl was given permission to marry by her parents. made national news, boy they wanted her gone bad! 50's/60's rock star Jerry Lee. Lewis married his 14 year old cousin (Arkansas).
