    Default Troublesome times.

    Here's how the story goes. My girlfriend and I met on the internet. I'm currently on house arrest for some stupid things i've done in the past, I've only got four more months to go on this crap and i'm definitly ready to be off of it. I've sent in my letter of modification already and i am waiting on the judges response as to whether or not i can obtain a court date.My girlfriend and i have been dateing for over two months. She's 17 years old and i'm 19 years old.

    She doesn't exactly have the best homelife. Her father is 60+ years old and her mother is reaching 50. Her sister is mentally challenged. My girlfriends parents Abuse her, Physically and mentally and verbally. She is the only person they actually hit or yell and scream at. They know that if they hit her sister then more than likely she'll die. My girlfriend ran away from home and is currently hiding out. She has Three months until she turns 18. She's ready to live on her own and i know she can do it because i'll be there with her to help.

    My girlfriend has been in some trouble in the past. She ran away from home for Seven months and went to Florida. We'll she got caught and was extradited back to indiana. Then she was on house arrest as punishment. Now she's currently on probation and hiding out from her parents and the law. So

    Her parents said that i could take her and she could move with me and i'd be fully responsible for her. I accept that responsablility. The problem is she's not at home and her parents still like me so What do i do? We've been talking about her getting Emancipated. I know the statutes in indiana. The child must be aware that she will no longer be a responsablility to her parents, She'll has to be aware of the responsablilities of being an adult, she has to have income and money to support herself, and she has to have an indepedant living plan.
    She has a job, she's working at Dariy Queen in her home town. I made her get an application at McDonalds in the town i live in. She has a place to stay also. She's staying with my friend until i can get my own place to live. Then she'll move in with me hopefully. We are Engaged and are planning on getting married on her 18th Birthday.

    My questions are as of follows:
    How would i go about helping her get emancipated?
    How would her being in trouble and on probation effect her chances of getting Emancipated?
    If she Had a place to stay (with my friend) And she had a job with income, Would the chances be higher that she could get Emancipated?

    I could really use everyones advice on this and i thank you for takeing time to read it.

    Q: How would her being in trouble and on probation effect her chances of getting Emancipated?

    A: It would reduce her chances to zero.

    We'll if i does reduce her chances to zero, Then She's hiding out now. If she can hold out until she is 18 years old. Would all of her charges and such forth be dropped? Because when i was a minor my charges were ejudicated when i turned 18. So when she turns 18 won't her charges be dropped also and we'll be clean and clear correct? And i read that If we get married then She'll obtain alot of the legal rights of an adult, but not all of them. Her parents would be willling to come and sign the papers. so what now

    If she violates her probation then, obviously, they can violate her. Whether or not they will attempt to do so is their decision to make.
