You can't move her out. Until she is 18 her parents are in charge. If they don't want her to see you thats their perogative as well.

My response:

Are you wearing "Bib Overalls" with one strap hanging down?

I want to get my girlfriend...


What kind of physical abuse and have you witnessed it? Myself, I would be sorely tempted to take my daughter over my knee, 16 or not and give her one hell of a spanking if I ever caught her sneaking around with a 23 year old, not to mention what I would do to the 23 year old if I ever got ahold of him. She never mentioned any physical abuse in her post. Keep in mind, some teenagers think it is abuse when mommy and daddy don't let them do whatever they want and see whomever they want. The fact that she had to sneak around to see you should be a clue. In addition, since you are 23, parents have a right to forbid you to see her and the law is on their side. Legally she is still a child. Back off and let her grow up for crying out loud.

good luck


At any atate the legal age to date whoever you want si 17 and parents find that hard to let there children grow up! I have been and still going threw the same thing. It isn't easy getting someone who is 16 out you would need proof of things that are going on. when will she be 17?And at that do you truly think you can keep her in school and help her keep her life together?

The only reason I ask is because i have to think about the same things. I am 17 and fixing to be living with a 23 guy. I wish you the best of luck and don't let lust make you blind!

Ambercook, if her mommy and daddy don't want her dating this guy, she has to wait til she's 18...if mom and dad say "honey, you will go to school and you will return from school and you will not go anywhere else", guess what? Thats what is going to have to happen because her parents are legally responsible for her until she's 18.
