Hello everyone,
I really need help on the Emancipation of a Minor law in Minnesota. I have a friend that is 23 years old, and he is dating a 17 1/2 year old for about 5 months. The parents of the girl are bi-polar like and were fine with her dating my friend, up until 2 days ago. A social worker had came into the home about a week ago, at which that time the parents told the social worker they were fine with their daughter dating my friend, but then changed their mind about 2 days ago. Now my question, I would like to know if, since she's 17 1/2, she could get emancipated in Minnesota without parental consent, or legal marriage. My friend is very happy, and so is she, and I don't think it's right for the parents to decide on the girls happiness because she is almost 18 as it is. I also had one more question. As I said the parents are both bi-polar like, and I know I should probably ask this somewhere else in the forums but the father of the girl had made a threat to my friend and my friend didn't go to the police at the time because he didn't want to make more trouble. What I was wondering is, and I don't really know how to word this so bear with me, what are the laws on mental health and threats? Would the threat the father made to my friend be enough to get him mental help? He hasn't been diagnosed with bi-polar but he has the symptoms of it. Please help if you can, and thank you so much for having this forum, it's alot of help!
