There are some very specific things---in some states--where parental consent is not needed. In most situations, though, a parent is required to give consent when a minor legally cannot give his / her own consent.

Does a parent have to have custody to consent to their underage child's marriage?

No, You don't have to have custody of your child to consent to the marriage. You either have to be parent which you are or the gurdian. You are still your child's parent regardless of weather you have custody or not. You could also call to the Clerk of Courts and ask them if this will make you feel comfortable.AnswerIt depends on the laws of your state. But in many states (and for all I know it could be 'most' or 'all' states), a non-custodial parent alone cannot give permission for a minor to get married.

When a parent has custody of a minor child can they give the minor permission to move in with a boyfriend or girlfriend?

yesYes, in all 50 states. Although parents have the right to oversee their minor children's welfare they do not have the right to supercede the law.Therefore, a parent can give a minor permission to live with someone else. However, you have to notify child services or a caseworker that the child will be living with someone else.

No. A stepparent has no legal authority in regards to non biological children. He or she cannot give a stepchild permission to marry, leave the custodial parent or any other legal issue. If one biological parent has sole custody he or she can give the minor child permission to marry. If both biological parents share custodial rights, both must give permission for an underaged minor to marry.

What are the rules about emancipation in Louisiana if your mom says you can leave but your dad says no?

You need consent from both, this is what the law says;Art. 3992. Consent of parent or tutor.The petition of the minor shall be accompanied by a written consent to the emancipation and a specific declaration that the minor is fully capable of managing his own affairs, by the following:(1) The father and mother if both are alive, or the survivor if one is dead. If either parent is absent or unable to act, the consent of the other parent alone is necessary. If the parents are judicially separated or divorced, and the custody of the minor has been awarded by judgment to one of the parents, the consent of that parent alone is necessary. A surviving parent is not required to qualify as natural tutor in order to give such consent, nor is the appointment of a special tutor necessary.If the petition is filed on the ground of ill treatment, refusal to support, or corrupt examples, parental consent is unnecessary, but the parents or the surviving parent shall be cited to show cause why the minor should not be emancipated.
