Can I get married with court consent at 15 with my baby daddy who is 18?
I am 15 and my baby daddy is 18. We
had a previous relationship before his
18th birthday. Were afraid with asking
parent permission it will cause a lot of
grief and drama. I read that a court can
grant us a marriage license right now
due to pregnancy. Is that correct?

The juvenile court can grant its consent for you to obtain a marriage licens without the consent of yout parents if it can be proved that you are indeed pregeant and plan on actually giving birth (i.e. will not seek to have an abortion). At this point, you should contact the juvenile court nearest you and see if they can provide further information. You can also speak with an attorney; if money is a problem see of legal aid can help your or check if there is a law school nearby as they typically run free/low cost legal clinincs.
