    Emancipation in Indiana...
    I'm trying to figure out if somebody can be emancipated at the age of 14 or 15 in the state of Indiana?

    Indiana has no specific laws re: emancipation. It's a case-by-case judgment by a Judge.

    The minor needs to prove -

    1. He/she WANTS to be free from parental protection;

    2 - no longer needs parental supervision/control;

    3 - this is permanent and he/she is now legally responsible for himself/herself AND THAT INCLUDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT;

    4 - has sufficient money to support himself/herself;

    5 - can live - and has plans and arrangements in place - to live INDEPENDENTLY.

    An Attorney can help you. Of course, if it's a situation which is dangerous for the minor CPS or a similar service can step in.

    Yes, do you have

    1. money saved to pay for court costs and to move out.
    2. a job to afford your own apartment and living costs.
    3. A plan you can prove that shows you can continue your education and still work and support yourself.
    4 prove a reason you need to be. Normlly just not wanting to live there is not a accepted reason
