You don't have to be married to give your baby his last name, i'm not married to my boyfriend but our daughter has his last name. Oh and another thing don't type in caps it's annoying

Same with me. My boyfriend and I aren't married but are planning to be in the near future, but when the baby comes it will have his last name.

Exactly, you wouldn't get in trouble.

Is it illegal for a 16 year old to marry an 18 year old in California? I thought that with parental consent marriage of a minor to an adult was fine...

Are you having to go to court to get the judge to agree to this? As far as I've ever known you would need to at your age.

At 17 all that is required is for a parent to sign off. But at 16, I believe you need to petition the court for the legal right to marry and become emancipated.

She's making the entire thing up. So, I wouldn't base anything off her 'experience'.

I know in FL if you are pregnant or have a child you can marry the father of the child as long as you are 16 (or 15?) without parental consent.

I know for a fact, in Washington you cannot get married without petitioning the court system if you are under 17 - period. At 17 you can have your legal guardian sign a waiver that allows you to marry - but before that age, you must go through a judge. You must also have written documents from a pastor, reverend, priest, a counselor and other 'adults' in the community that can attest to your reliability as an 'adult'. Both parties to the marriage are scrutinized - so schooling, employment, legal history - everything will be brought into court to prove your worthiness.

And, this is true even if you are pregnant.

I thought you had a 2 year old and were pregnant with #2? Now you have two babies?

It's all different depending on the state.

Unfortunately, I don't know any thing about California, so I can't offer to much help here.

What is the risk of having a miscarriage?

So in less than a month she magically completed her pregnancy and now has a 2 month old child. Rolling Eyes

Here is her intro thread saying she is 11weeks as of 10-05-07. (it is the last entry on the last page)

http://ehealthforum.com/health/viewtopic.p hp?t=80584&start=80

And here is a post from today saying that she is no longer pregnant because her son was born on August 1st 07. She's super woman if she can get pregnant while still pregnant. Rolling Eyes

http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic111781 .html

I've said something in two different threads, she hasn't said anything back yet.
