Do i qualify for emancipation in the state of Indiana?

Question

I'm 16 soon to be 17 in less than a month. I can barely stand being at home anymore. i have a baby due at the end of next month and my mom still acts like she doesnt ahve to do anything. My boyfriends/ fiancee lives with hiw gparents and they ahve bought just about everything we have for this baby. The bed the stroller/carseat clothes bottles and ive bought a few things myself. My mom says i need to be buying stuff but i have no job and she doesnt pay me for anything i do around the house. Yet my 7 year old brother gets new toys and money for passing his spelling tests and other stupid things and when i do the dishes or watch him or anything around the hosue i dont get anything, much a less even a thanks. My boyfriends grandparents have already said im welcome to come live there and we've even tlaked about changing the garage into living quarters for me my bf and the baby.I need to know if i even qualify for emacipation. My mom treats me like crap and i dont get half the things i need.

even tlaked about changing the garage into living quarters for me my bf and the baby.I need to know if i even qualify for emacipation.My mom treats me like crap and its been going on for far longer than since i became pregnant its nothing new. i dont expect her to buy everything but if the dads parents are going to be the only ones to provide for me and the baby why cant i just go live with them and get on their health insurance like the company said i could?

Answer 1

Does your Mom have health insurance? Be an adult and do not walk away from that - it should cover you and your baby, while you are a dependent of your Mother.
This is very important, you do not want to start out deep in debt when you do leave home.
Your Mom probably has some issues she needs to work out. Hopefully, she will come around.

Answer 2

Well honey....it sounds to me like your mom is trying to teach you some responsibility. A baby is a hell of a lot of work. Maybe after the baby is born, since you have supportive grandparents on his side..you can focus on getting a job, or going back to school. Your in a real tough spot. I dont know if emancipation really means anything anymore. I went through the same thing when I was your age and places still wouldn't hire me because I wasn't 18. I think you have to be 18 to move out and 17 in texas and la.
Good luck to you and your baby. I hope something works out for you.

Answer 3

Well, to qualify for emancipation, everyone--including your parents--has to agree you should be released into the world on your own...that's what emancipation is. But it sounds like you really need the place to stay. So what your mother didn't buy you anything for the baby? Sounds like you don't need anything if the other people bought it all. Who cares where it comes from? Besides, if you have a 7 year old brother, sounds like she's got her own baby to spoil. Why should she spoil yours? That's your job. Can't afford it? Well, I won't go there because that won't help.

You should stay if you need insurance and a place to stay rent-free. Emancipation sounds like fun because you think your mom's a ***** and you want to hurt her, but when you're pregnant and have no job and are 17, I can't think of a worse situation to be in. What if your baby is sick? What if YOU get sick? If you are emancipated and unmarried...guess what? You have NO ONE to help you. You will have no money for anything...and clothes and iPods are going to seem so far away when you're starving.

Answer 4

Adoption allowances are negotiated earlier than an adoption takes area. mothers and fathers have the right to ask for money for any infant followed by technique of way of foster care (and a pair of followed by technique of way of inner most adoption that journey some risky subject matters, ninety 9% of the time, that is finished earlier than the newborn is followed). some youngsters who've disabilities, even if emotional or actual, obtain an allowance from the state, as an incentive for adoptive mom and father to undertake them. Many also qualify for medicaid till eventually they are adults. Your mom become very almost continuously telling the reality, as strong as your sister's adoptive mom and father. diverse cases, places, case workers, etc, make a change and each and every adoption is also diverse.

Answer 5

"mom still acts like she doesnt ahve to do anything"

This is your mess, babe, not your mom's.

Your brother gets rewards for his success. You want rewards for getting knocked up at 16? You are not supposed to be paid for chores in the house - it is a responsibility of all able-bodied individuals.

I suggest you remain on the best possible terms with your parents. You are going to need to grow up and SERIOUSLY kiss their butts because you are going to need all the help you can get.

You think you are stressed now? You ain't seen NOTHING yet.

Answer 6

You need to get a job, that will be part of you emancipation, dear. Your Mom will not be supporting your sorry butt anymore, you will be out on your own, capiche?

Sounds like you are jealous of your little brother too.

Whats up with the Romeo that you took a roll in the hay with, why don't he want you? HMMM Maybe that nasty attitude put him off.

Grow up, kid.

Answer 7

either way, you have chosen a very difficult way to grow up. perhaps your mother is disappointed (which i can relate to). parents want to be grandparents after the kids have college behind them and a job. she should be more supportive and perhaps will be. i don't think you should alienate your mother at this time. give her a chance.
