How to File for Emancipation in Indiana
- 1). Obtain a copy of emancipation forms from your local Indiana courthouse. The forms are only available from the court; they are not available online.
- 2). Fill out the form completely and honestly. Include the reasons why you are requesting emancipation from your parents. The court will not grant the emancipation of a minor if she does not have adequate reason for her request.
- 3). File the forms with an Indiana courthouse. At this time, you will be given a court hearing. If you can afford to, hire an attorney to help you with the emancipation process.
- 4). Gather documentation to show that you are eligible for emancipation. You need to show the court that you can financially support yourself, have a place to live and do not need the assistance of your parents or the government to survive.
