What is the name of your state? Hawaii
I am an 18 year old girl and I have been dating a 15 year old girl now for about 7 1/2 months. Her Christian father and mother (divorced) are extremely unsupportive and unhappy about our relationship and have been from the day they found out, although the mom has shown to be more willing to accept this than the father. They have brought the topic of a TRO a number of times during conversations during conversations but have never gone through with it. My family knows of my relationship with this girl and they are supportive of us staying together.
I did a little research of my own and I have no TRO specificationfor the State of Hawaii that would give my girlfriend's family's case any real cause to be processed and served since I have never harmed her in any way; never threatened her; and have never done anything illegal with her. The only thing that I can think of that would be even remotely lawless would be going to her house without her father's permission. He had stated that I was not to enter his home, but if I was invited over by my girlfriend, would this be considered breaking and entering?
I also looked up the age of consent since I am now 18. I was 17 when we fisrt started dating and she turns 16 in July. The legal age of consent in Hawaii, from what I found through Google, is 16 years or 14 years if your partner is under the age of 18. I also learned that same-sex consent laws have been repealed in the State of Hawaii.
I have no idea what to do or how to go about any of this. My girlfriend's father has hit her many times in the past and her family seems to not care. My girlfriend refuses to turn him because she fears that he will lose his job and he hits her so well that there are never any bruises.
Any advice or contact information of someone I can get a hold will be more than helpful and appreciated! Thanks What is the name of your state?
