I Really Need This
My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Indiana
PLEASE READ ALL
In June I will be 15. For me this is a matter of education. I want to get the best possible. I can't do that when my current situation forces me to move from place to place, from one dysfunctional resident to another. I moved 3 times just during the last school year. My mother currently lives in Louisiana with my 17 year old drop-out brother, I haven't seen or spoken with my father in about a year. I live with my father's great aunt, and her extended family of 6 . I refuse live with my mother, because her boyfriend was caught and tried for possession, and a gun. I also caught him "peeping" through the bathroom window one night while I was showering, I told my mother, she believed me but did nothing about it. My father is probably the least responsible person to care for me, and my great aunt thinks I am terrible. My aunts (her daughters) always try to get me to want to leave. They wont let me outside (night or day), this I have no real problems with, I want to focus on my education anyway. I got five A's, and three B's last semester, but they still never approve of me. I am a freshman, and this year counts most. I know exactly what track i should be on, but its getting on them that's the hard part. I have straight A's this semester, but I don't know who I will be living with next year, so I can't put my plan in motion. I will finish the school year here, in Indiana, but next year I don't know what lies ahead. I have a job lined up as soon as I get emancipated, and a high school that offers a two year associates degree as soon as I graduate. What I am asking is if there is anyone out there that can help me? I really need this, to be able to feel like I know whats next even though you never really know. I can provide for myself, and if not, if everything doesn't workout I can always go back go back to the beginning. I am willing to do anything to prove that I can provide for myself. I am willing to appear in court for this. I work hard at everything I do, and this is the most important thing to me. I know it will be difficult throughout, but I have a plan, and a backup plan, and a back up plan for my back up plan. For me this is just step one. Do you think it's possible next year to be emancipated, I honestly don't think I can live like this much longer. I really hope someone out there can help me. I'm not being abused, but I can't concentrate on school when i am so scared about where I'll be next year. For me school is my escape. The only place where i feel at ease with life, because i have it so under control.

Re: I Really Need This
Your state will not emancipate a 15 year old, and NO state will emancipate a teen on the promise that after emancipation, you will get a job. Unless you already have, not only a job, but a job which will pay you enough to pay rent, food, clothes, utilities, transportation, medical care, insurance, school fees and supplies, and all other incidentals, while simultaneously going to school and keeping your grades up, you will not be emancipated.
