Consenting, adult GF's mother threatens legal action if I contact my GF

[wittybiceps]

I live in MD, my GF lives in Ontario, Canada. I don't know how the law works in this case, but I'm fairly sure two consenting adults can communicate freely without fear of legal action from parents.

ps I didn't know where else to post this

Perhaps on a site that deals with canadian law. Not this one.

As I said, I live in the US. I'm not bound by Canadian law. I was just asking for general advice

Your girlfriend IS bound by Canadian law.

And so is her mother.

And him, the very second he steps over the border.

Are you communicating via any device Mom owns/pays for? Does your g/f live with Mom? If so, your adult g/f should consider (a) finding a way to live on her own and (b) pay for her own electronics (be it land line, cell or computer). You know - like an adult.

And by adult, do you mean someone who has already passed their 18th birthday, or are you making the common mistake that someone who has passed the age of legal consent to sex but who is still not yet 18, is no longer under the care and control of their parents?

Wait until you cross the border and your name comes up in their computer.

She will be 21 in May, which I believe is well beyond the age of consent, even in Canada.

She's currently working two jobs, one of which is tutoring high school students, and going to university full time. She is paying for her own things

I'm still waiting to hear what I could possibly be charged with.

I certainly cannot think of anything that you could be doing that is illegal, unless you are doing things on the internet that you should not be doing.

Can't you avoid all this hassle and just find a girlfriend in Maryland? I live here and see a lot of women walking around.

Which would also likely negate that whole I-864 nonsense, too.

Win/win.

Neither can I. I understand since she's living with her parents they have a certain amount of control over her activities, but nothing we have done has been even remotelly illegal, in any country, let alone the United States and Canada.

Fighting for something you love isn't a hassle, at least to me

If she doesn't want to respect her parent's wishes while living under their roof, she probably should move out. Is there some reason why they dislike you this much?
