Star Trek: Lower Decks

Wasn't the mom trying to pass her off to the dad, who ducked out of it?

Yes, that's how I remember it. I suppose I should clarify it didn't give me the impression that they would be trying particularly hard to keep her in the fleet if it came down to a discharge.

Edit: Adding to that, Mariner's copious knowledge of Starfleet regulations seems to be pretty good armor against knowing exactly what lines not to push too far.
