Emancipation Rights in Indiana

[Guardian]

From what I've read so far the emancipation of a minor in the state of IN would only be a direct result of the parents willingly going through with it or having been convicted of a felony charge.

My question is: Is it possible (or) have any moniors been granted emancipation in this state as a result of verbal/emotional/physical abuse by the parents without getting cps involved. What would be suficient proof?

Wish I didn't have to ask as I've known the family for years & they willingly let their 16 yo son stay here all last summer he's like my own.

Since they made him move back (to their house), they've already sent him away to a boyshome once for 2 weeks because they don't get along and his mood has went down hill, (he wants to stay here). I'd like to be able to help him if possible.

Indiana has no emancipation statute, but it may nonetheless be possible to convince a juvenile court to grant emancipation where the court finds:

1. The petitioning minor wishes to be free from parental control and protection and no longer requires control and protection;

2. The petitioning minor understands the consequences of being free from parental control and protection

3. The petitioning minor has sufficient money for the child's own support; and

4. The petitioning minor has an acceptable plan for independent living.

Without a statute to reference, it is difficult to gauge what a judge might deem sufficient as a basis for emancipation.

If the minor does not qualify to emancipate, it doesn't seem likely that a court would ignore conventional standards for emancipation.

Why is the minor reluctant to seek help through protective services?

Why is the minor reluctant to seek help through protective services?

He doesn't want to get them into trouble, just wants to get out of the house with little or no legal action (from the state) against his parents.

If he really doesn't want to see them hurt but he really sees no other way he should do what it takes to get out. I am going through the same thing and I dont want to hurt my parents but I know I cant live like this anymore. Also if he ever needs to talk to someone going through the same thing let me no
