Boyfriend, baby, parent drama

ok well I dont know where you live, but in a lot of states the age of consent is 16. If this is the age of consent for your state, you and your boyfriend didn’t break the law…first off, your parents can’t tell you who you can and can’t see. Especially since your 17, I mean you can drive( ?) So you pretty much have freedom. The only thing your parents could do is get a restraining order against your boyfriend, but there is a catch. Your parents would have to prove to the judge that he is endangering you in some way, they can;t tell the judge they don’t like him, becuase that isn’t a legit excuse. The judge will throw the case out if your parents try to do that. However, I dont know what the judge will say about the baby. Im pretty sure the judge will not grant a restraining order aganist your boyfriend because you are pregnant with his baby-synpathy. So what I suggest you do is look up online what your states age of consent is, and if your not confident with the online answer, call a local police station and ask what it is- just to make sure your boyfriend can’t be charged with statutory rape. O and btw, your parents can’t charge statutory rape against your boyfriend, the court decides that. If you know any one in the legal field askk them what the procedure is for a restrainin order against a boyfriend if the girlfriend is pregnant.. Do your legal research ASAP and then confront your parents about the baby… Good Luck!! And if you really want to move out, you would have to get emacipated, or have your parents consent. In some states since the age of consent is 16, a person isn’t suppose to move out w\o parental consent, but if you move out w\o parental consent, you can be cahrged as a runaway, but all you have to do is contact the police and tell them you are OK. The police will not force you to go back home if you are OK and over the consent age… Well I hope this helped- but get your research done asap!
