What is the law on emancipation of minors in Indiana?
My friend’s dad is a lawyer. I met him to ask about how I can get emancipation and if he could help me in getting an order for the same. He says he will help me if I could possibly show in the court that I have some money to take care of my expenses once I start living independently. Do the courts look into such things while deciding emancipation cases?
