You are located in the State of Pennsylvania, which is rallt eh Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. From my understanding of the law there, minors must have both the written approval of a judge of the Orphnas' Court Division of the Common Please AND a written consent form a parent or legal guardian. "A" parent is what I read. But I think once you make the application Dad may jump in there and object. Tread wisely. Marriage is a big step and you still have high school and college to complete which is a lot to do. Good luck.
