Elise, In the US the minimum age for marriage is 16, and even then you have to have your parents' consent. That said, I must encourage you to wait until you are 18. I don't want to sound like your parents but you & your boyfriend will change a LOT between now and graduation. Especially if he's in the CG. I know, I am in the Army Reserves, and I am still with my highschool girlfriend. It can work, but if you push it too early you might ruin it. Grow slowly and good luck.

Emancipation is a process where a person under the age of 18, but of the age of 16 or older goes through the court, to get legal permission to be considered an adult leagally, there are some restrictions though. You also need parents or leagal guardians permission, if your parents are divorced, you need your custodial parents permission. You have to obtain a packet of the paperwork, fill it out, file some, serve some paperwork to your parents usually 15 days before the emancipation trial can be held. They are usually held at a certain time each month. Laws vary a bit from state to state.
