    Default Can I Get Emancipated at Age 17

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Indiana

    I am wondering if I can be emancipated. I turn 17 in September and my dad likes to claim that I've lived with him all my life when in reality, I've lived with my grandma and uncle. My grandma has supported everything that I've needed for as long as I remember. When I was 13 my dad kind of just up and left my life and moved in with his girlfriend who lived like an hour away and we didn't have any connection. He came back once he got kicked out, only to up and leave my life again a month or so later for another female, without any communication. I had to like try and see him and when he felt up to it, he'd come and get me for the weekend. My dad does have full custody and my mom isn't really in my life. Anyway, my dad and I got into this huge fight and he kicked me out but the cops told me I had no choice but to go back home since I'm under the age of 18. I didn't want to go back home at all. I just started working again and I'm trying to get a car but nobody is willing to be a co-signer. I'm graduating high school a year early. Anyway, nobody in my household likes to do anything, if I don't clean the house, it stays dirty, nobody goes shopping for food properly, nobody likes to cook either, on top of everything, my dad's girlfriend and I don't get along. I can't even talk to my dad without her butting in and getting mad over something. I've never had a stable life either, I've always moved from place to place, where I'm living now is the longest I've ever lived anywhere. I've raised myself and I've taken care of myself. I'm trying to get a second job so I can save up for a place and be able to pay for everything. I just need to know if this is enough to get me emancipated, so I don't waste any money. I live in Indiana by the way, if that helps with determining the laws and stuff.
