Question by PENNY M: Is a minor allowed a court appointed attorney after marrying an adult?
Minor has court date set and is appointed court appointed attorney. Prior to court date minor gets married to an adult. Is minor still entitled to court appointed attorney or does she now fall under different rules due to her husband being an adult?
Best answer:
Answer by Spock (rhp)
in a criminal case, the deciding issue is the ability to pay for own attorney, not whether married or single, adult or minor.
however, the now married person's spouse is part of whether she can afford private counsel and thus is still eligible for free (government paid) defender.
