No, you cannot move to Alabama without your parents' consent. You cannot get married without the same. You have to wait until you are 18 to basically live as you wish.
He didn't force me or anything and we want to get marry , how long would it take for us to get the marriage license I'll be turning 18 in October 16 please give as much info as you can

He probably will not get into legal trouble for this, but we only know what you have written, nothing more of the facts. You can get married with parental consent when you are 17, or you can wait until you are an adult.
He keeps running away and cops bring him home. Now he tells us he got his 16 yr old girlfriend pregnant what are our rights and responsibilities?
answered on Nov 11, 2014
This is a rather broad question and there are no simple solutions. If he continues to run away, the cops will continue to bring him back. Perhaps he should look into emancipation.

You have to wait until she is 18, unless her parents consent to her getting married.

You have not provided enough facts. What do his parents say?
My cousin has 2 kids and now my whole family says she is legally an adult and able to do what she wants. I want to move back to the house she is in but she says I can't unless I evict her.

They are wrong. So is she. Get an attorney on your side.

Probably only with permission from the probation officer and it might take a court order too.

Are you completely self supporting? You might try to get emancipated.
Im 17 going into my senior year of high school and im pregnant. my parents arent supportive of this and dont want the guy in my life. i love my boyfriend and want him in my life. He is 17 as well.

You have to have your parents' permission for everything you do. They are concerned that your boyfriend will not last for long, as so many teenage relationships rarely last for long at all, and this one will have life long consequences because you are pregnant.

Was there any sex? That is the main question. If so, the 18 year old can be charged with sexual battery.
He was giving conditioal discharge but didn't finish what he needed to do

The arrest warrant will be executed and the person will be taken into custody, they do not expire. Hire an attorney in the area to handle this matter.

Your parents make all of the decisions about where you are to be. Yes, you have to go.
He wants to travel within the US alone. Should we allow him to? His parents, who live in Europe, seem to be OK with it. What are our responsibilities? Thank you!

Responsible for what? Are you anticipating that the child will run out an rob a bank? How is it that you think you can be held responsible for anything the child does as opposed to any other guest?

Wait until you are 18, then you are an adult and can do as you please. But doing as you please is not always the best thing.
answered on Oct 24, 2014
What you can do is agree that he can move out. Its either that or put him on the list of missing persons if he refuses to come home. That can have dire consequences for him.
answered on Oct 24, 2014
Date? Sure no crime in that as long as the parents are ok with it.
answered on Oct 24, 2014
The consequences would be that the teenager is listed as a missing child and the worst is always assumed by the parents. So, no matter what you do, make sure your parents know where you are and that you are alright.
