Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

Re: moving out under age 18

Please accept this message in the spririt it is offered from the father of 7, foster parent of 5 and grandfather of 32. You need some serious counseling. You are only a child, yet you are trying to act as an adult. While you have "issues" with your mother, you need whatever love and protection she can offer for several more years. Swallow your pride and humble your heart, and get some counseling for your self, and if your mother will come so much the better. You should not be risking pregnancy at your tender age. You have not yet matured to the point where you can give a child everything it needs. You cannot even take care of all of your needs. Go to school, get an education and DO NOT RISK PREGNANCY for your sake and the sake of your child. If you are pregnant, then make arrangements to give the child up for adoption with a family that is mature and can give the baby the care it deserves. Do not run away from your problems, but face them responsibly and as maturely as you can - and get help from someone who can counsel you as to the proper decisions.
