    Default Can a Minor Get Emancipated if She Thinks Her Parents are Too Controlling

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Indiana
    My girlfriend is moving to Indiana this summer and I need to know how she can be emancipated. We both will be 16 in the summer I almost have my license I have a job working for a farmer and have my own vehicle. Now on to my parents my parents absolutely love her and would be happy for her to live with us also they are very easy going people. Now her parents are the kind of parents that just shelter there children like crazy. They wont let her do anything while she has a sister 1 year older than her that they let her do just about anything. Her parents get mad at her for the smallest things like one time she ran the dish washer again because it looked dirty to her and it was clean and they chewed her out terrible. Her brother and sister are mean to her and most of the things said by her brother are something like "shutup I will stab/ hit you with a brick, no one loves you". Her parents don't do anything about it either. If you were to look at the family they would look happy but she is extremely unhappy and upset she breaks down and cries at least once a week from something they did. The parents get mad for us being close together such as sitting close in church while her sister and her boy frined are always kissing holding hand laying across each other and the parents don't care. I have audio proof of her brother calling her names and screaming at her for her begging him to leave us alone. I need your help and I need to know how to go about this. Also she is looking for a job right now. Please don't tell me to call a child protection hotline or something similar because we don't want to mess with that.

    She has zero chance of emancipation. If you had read the stickies as you were told to do, you'd know why.

    Too bad. If she's ACTUALLY being abused and you ACTUALLY CARE about her, that's exactly what needs to be done.

    She's not a candidate for emancipation.

    The purpose of emancipation law is not so your girlfriend can shack up with you.

    She is being emotionly abused every day. We don't want to mess with child protection places because we don't want to get her put in a foster home of sorts where the foster parents are worse than hers. Also they would probably tell her parents to take care of her siblings because of the whole sibling rivalry things that are out there.

    Not happening. No one will rent to you until you're 18 years old. And marriage will not happen without parental consent from all sides.

    We don't want to mess with child protection places because we don't want to get her put in a foster home of sorts where the foster parents are worse than hers.
    Horsepuckey. People who are being abused? Are more than happy to talk to CPS and even be placed in care if CPS finds it appropriate.

    Ask me how I know.

    Just in case you're misunderstanding, she will NOT be emancipated.

    Another "oh foster parents are evil" post? Really?

    You're both 15 years old for crying out loud. Neither of you have a clue about living as an adult in the real world.

    You're not getting married without judicial permission, and you're not going to find a landlord willing to rent to a couple of kids.

    Just ain't happening.
