My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Indiana
I'm currently looking into getting emancipated although I don't want to move out and be on my own. I have other reasoning for wanting to be emancipated. I am 5 months away from being 18. Last evening my two step siblings were put into foster care due to false allegations. CPS is now investigating my mother (who has never done anything like this) and my step father. My mother has three children of her own and my step father has two, they have one child together. I know that chances are slim that my mother will lose her children, but just to be on the safe side, I would like to be emancipated to ensure that if my two little brothers, my little sister, and I do not get split apart. I have already spoke with my mother about doing this, my school guidance counselor, and my grandparents to ensure that we would have somewhere to go. Where do I go now? I'm confused as to what I do next. Do I need to speak with a lawyer?
