I live in the state of Indiana and was wondering if I could get emancipated from my mother although I was recently put on juvenile probation for truancy. My mother is very neglectful to myself (17) and my younger sister(9). She is currently abusing hard drugs, has repeatedly kicked me out of my home and then threatened to call the police on me, doesn't come home for days at a time, and constantly has other drug addicted friends entering and leaving our home at all hours of the night. I have tried to give her ultimatums about her addiction (basically its me or the drugs) However all of these attempts failed. I am aware of Indiana State Law about emancipation and the requirements for emancipation to do so. I was wondering what my options were without involving CPS, due to the fact that I do not want to be sent to foster care. However, if emancipation is not possible, due to the fact that I am on probation, I fear that this is our only choice. Please Help.
