"If you are divorced then were you married to get emmancipated? But i think you should be emmancipated, you were an adult so why stop you know" Just because you were emancipated doesn't mean you're an adult, it just means you're a kid who can take care of yourself. Also, marriage emancipation is different than emancipation from your parents. So no, they do not, and should not, allow it to carry over.

I had a baby at sixteen, and here in MD I'm allowed to be married without my parents consent. But the man I want to marry lives in SC, so what I want to know is-- is my emancipation recognized there?
