Teenage Sex
Michigan
My daughter is 16 and was dating a guy who was 18 , but got pregnant a few weeks before her 16 birthday. Now the question I need to is I have full-custody of my daughter and her father is trying to make her have an abortion or he is gonna press chareges on the boy.Does he have that right too or not without my consent, Except in a medical emergency where the teenager's life is at risk, NO parent has the right to force their teen to have an abortion. The father of the 16 year old is within his parental rights to report the 18 year old to police. The age of consent to have sexual intercourse in Michigan is 16. The 18 year old may not be charged under the "Criminal Sexual Conduct" law due to the fact that he is not more than 5 years older than the victim. It would generally be up to a prosecutor to determine if any criminal charges would be warranted in the situation. |
