You did not tell us the state that is involved, but unless your friend has actual means of supporting herself it is unlikely that she could get emancipated. In some states it will also be necessary for her to be living independently and supporting herself before she can qualify for emancipation. Plans aren't sufficient.
She lives in Indiana. I have read that sometimes the Child must live independently first but Can she live independently at 16? Wouldnt she be considered a runaway?
