16 year old get spousal support?

[seniorjudge]

...My daughter is still in High school and cannot support herself....

Since she has been married, I suspect that state law now considers her emancipated. She needs to get a full-time job.

 

[JETX]

Yep, I will say that if I had a 14 year old daughter who was being "sexually active" with her 18 year old boyfriend..... he would be behind bars. Making 'activity' a whole lot harder... except wtih 'Bubba'!!

 

[AHA]

First of all, having sex does not mean you HAVE to get married! Second, you should have stopped your daughter from having sex and filed statutory rape charges on the ******* that was "raping" YOUR CHILD, not rewarding him by handing over your underaged little girl! Third, as any divorced woman who was supported by her husband during the marriage, she needs to get a job!!! It is not anyone else's job to pay her bills. The fact that she is so young, she still has school left and can probably not get a job worth more than pennies is basically your fault. These are things YOU should have considered before you willingly gave away your daughter with a bow wrapped around her. Nothing but death is certain in this world, so how the hell did you think that a marriage with a 14 and 18 year old was going to last more than 5 minutes? I can't believe you could do that to your own child! You should be thanking your lucky star that your daughter got some good sense genes from somewhere (it's obvious where she DIDN'T get them from!) and didn't end up having several kids by now. You set your kid up for disaster and now it's time for you to pay the consequences. Suck it up and help your kid for once. This is the western world, there is no need to marry off children so you can save a buck.

This is NOT about OP because I do not know her.

But, you all may not realize how common it is for momma to bring underage daughter to the judge for a waiver to get married.

I NEVER granted one...I sent 'em all to Mississippi. It's a short drive, they can go to the casino and stop at Graceland on the way back.

He'd be singing soprano!

And my kid would be severely restricted in all aspects of her life for some time.

Well they got married in Alabama, not much different than Mississippi, I wonder if they are related? And of course if there is a trailer somewhere? I wonder how old this new woman is?

She's probably younger than 16. Once a pedophile, always a pedophile. I'd be grateful to have him out of my daughter's life and bed, but then again I'm Mrs Common Sense.......thank God

Wow!

While others here are attempting to be comedians (and failing miserably) and so worried about statutory rape, as usual, most are missing the big picture here.

Mom, how in the world did you convince a judge to allow to her to get married? Wasn't the judge the slightest bit hesitant? With your daughter ONLY BEING 14, I can't imagine that there is any judge out there who would've allowed this to happen with the parent simply saying "OK." I would assume the amount of proof, etc that these 2 are mature enough to get married would have been enormous to convince the judge. The fact that they were living with you for several months should've been a clear cut sign they weren't even financially responsible to live on their own. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during this one.

Now, because the marriage didn't work out, you are only concerned about getting money from this guy. WTF ARE YOU ONLY WORRIED ABOUT MONEY!! YOU are the one responsible for allowing your 14-year old daughter to get married. YOU!!! All of you used bad judgment in this decision, but essentially, this falls back onto YOU! YOU allowed this to happen!!! So because of a bad decision on your part, you want a guy to pay? HA! Your priorities are seriously out of whack!

Maybe you should look into annulment options for this "marriage". IMHO, you simply need to let this go and move on. Hopefully ALL OF YOU learned from this life lesson.

You are prime for the talk show circuit. I am sure Judge Hatchett, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Judy, Divorce Court.

Wow

Talk about Child Neglect or Child Abuse

 

[You Are Guilty]

Hello! It's Alabama. They don't like having those 15 year old "spinsters" running around!

 

[veronicalouise]

If she had of been 10 years old and sexually active, would you have let her marry?

 

[robbins00]

I came on here to ask for advise from lawyers or someone who knows the law.....all I seem to have got is a lot of people telling me what a bad parent I am ....I love my daughter and I dont claim to know everything........If you knew how many times I regretted the decision I made to allow her to marry so young....now Im trying to pick up the pieces and go on with our lives.....that is why she is back home with me...before they were married ..they threatened to run away if I didnt let them be together and she has before several times....I was afraid she would follow through again ...It was a mistake I have to live with ........but he shouldn't get off with nothing......if it werent for him none of this would have taken place ....I feel he should give her something for the two years she cooked and kept house for him .....My daughter will always have a place with me when she needs it.......bad parent or not......most of it is just personal moral standards.....so quit judging me by what you think is moraly correct.

I counted at least six other posters (besides me) who gave you correct and good information on your current situation.

What are you griping about?

While it is certainly no fun to be taken to task for poor choices, the fact remains that this was a crappy one. With such a short-term marriage, it is unlikely that he is required to provide her with any spousal support at all. So it's time for you to rectify your error and step up to the plate of supporting your child - in all ways, including financially.
