[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Again, the marriage idea was only for a paper marriage until she’s 18. That would allow her to stay with her mother, and not have to go to her father’s house. It’s perfectly legal, as long as she isn’t doing it for someone who needs a green card. Obviously, we wouldn’t do that.

We’re working on other ways to help her. She’s not being terribly cooperative, and we are all doing our best. This is a very difficult situation for everyone. [/quote]

If she’s not being cooperative, maybe she perceives the situation differently than you do.[/quote]

She’s resisting talking to an attorney or police, not the marriage idea. [/quote]

why is she resisting talking to an attorney? talk does not obligate her to do anything. [/quote]

She’s enjoying her freedom. I suspect after CPS came in, documented, and did nothing, she is also skeptical that the system will be able to help her.

I’m hopeful we can get some legal advice soon, and find some sort of plan. We are working on it, but I’d prefer not to go into details here. [/quote]
