Can I Emancipate Myself?

[onmyown1679]

I am 16 and I live with my mom here in Indiana. Im having some serious problems lately. Me and her have always gotten along but lately it seems as though we dont even know eachother. It's like she disowns me now. Everyday after school, if i dont have to work, i go straight to my room upstairs. Its been like this for awhile now. I can say i have hit my depression mode and it is only getting worse. I can't stand to live with her anymore. I have family and a boyfriend around to help me out and all of them are agreeing with me that im doing the right thing by looking into emancipation. Can i do it with out her permission? I currently am working a total of three jobs and am going to school. If i can emancipate myself what would be the steps i would need to take to do so?

Please! I NEED HELP!...

Indiana has no emancipation statute, but it may nonetheless be possible to convince a juvenile court to grant emancipation where the court finds:

1. The petitioning minor wishes to be free from parental control and protection and no longer requires control and protection;

2. The petitioning minor understands the consequences of being free from parental control and protection

3. The petitioning minor has sufficient money for the child's own support; and

4. The petitioning minor has an acceptable plan for independent living.

Without a statute to reference, it is difficult to gauge what a judge might deem sufficient as a basis for emancipation.

So what are the chances i can pull off the emancipation myself?

What are your answers to each of the four factors outlined above?

If you can't meet the test for emancipation, getting pregnant won't help either and will only show you are not mature enough to support yourself. THere is hardly a teenager who at some time doesn't want to be on thier own, it is difficult without the help of your family.

how ever you can accomplish the four steps above(whatever comes), then you shall be set free
