    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Emancipation for a 16 year old in Indiana

    I am a 15-year-old girl and I have lived with my grandparents my whole life I sometimes talk to my mother but she has her wn life and her own family in tennessee me and my grandmother have never gotten alongshe always treats me like garbage i have been mentally and emotional abused for years by her. whenever she gets real mad she picks up stuff and hits me with it no matter what it is. for me living with her is very miserable. I will be 16 years old next april and i have a steady job that i work so hard at..i work very hard at my job its important to me.

    Can you prove to the court that you can be completely self supporting? Do you earn enough to pay rent, food, clothes, utilities, medical care, insurance, transportation, school fees and supplies, while simultaneously going to school and keeping your grades up? Can you show the judge a plan for independent living that includes a budget of all the above based on your earnings?
