Re: Trying to get Emancipated in Indiana
Well I am 18, i just recently moved out of my house. The night of my open house (because i Graduated High School, May 2006) my mom got very very angry and started yelling and screaming in my face. Then she procedded to beat up her girlfrined, I actually didnt see this because i went out with my boyfriend and some of out other friends, later on in the night when I came home, my mom's girlfrinend wasn't and i was wondering why. She called me on my cell phone later in the night and told me that my mom was being physical. When she got home i heard some arguing and then the garage door. I called my mom's girlfriend *Vickie* on her cell phone and asked what she was doing because i was scared, about 3-5 minutes later i heard the garage door again and the other car start and then silence. About 10 minutes later vickie called me and told me she would be there in a minute because my mom was going to "kill her" and told me to call the police before my mom got back to the house. So i called the police, all kinda of shouting went down between my mom and the police, and then they arrested her, they took pictures of her girlfriend's bruises and took our statements. After that I moved out with my boyfriend and his mom. I've been mentally, verbally, and physically abused, and since i am 18 and my dad is STILL paying child support since i am going to college I wanted to know how can i go about getting emancipated... please help me
Re: Trying to get Emancipated in Indiana
The age of majority in Indiana is 18. If your father believes that you are also emancipated for purposes of child support, he can bring a motion to modify his support obligation.

Re: Emancipation After Age 18
This is one of the prices of remaining financially dependent upon your parents - if they control the purse strings, they can use that control to impose limits on your behavior even though you're an adult.
Re: Emancipation After Age 18
Well i mean i pay my OWN insurance... $644 for 6 months, own groceries, cell phone, gas and whatever else i want to do. But i mainly put my money in my savings account to help me in the future if i need it. The thing is they bought the car for me, it's payed off and everything. They are just holding the car over my head and my dad's head to keep my dad paying child support and she tells him that if he wants to stop paying then they will take away the car.. I hate that they are doing this to him and me.... Im very confussed still.... :confused:

Re: Emancipation After Age 18
Advice on what? If you don't want your parents to be able to take the car away, consider getting your own car.
