{| |- | Indiana has no emancipation statute. Have a child does not make one an adult. Being able to have a child does not mean one can take care of the child. You still must be 18 to be considered an adult. |}
No, the only thing different is that you are allowed to make medical decisions regarding yourself and your child.
An 18 year old who is not in school is legally an adult. As a result, the parents are in their rights to begin eviction proceedings on this adult.
Having a child does not emancipate a minor (they don't gain an adult rights), so until you turn 18, your parents decide where you live.
No. Merely having a child does not emancipate a minor in any state of the US.
They are an adult at 18. They can move wherever the wish.
He is no longer a minor at 18, he is an adult. He is all ready emancipated.
No, you cannot do that. Until the child is an adult, the parents are responsible for them. You would have to get them emancipated, which may not be allowed in your state.
My 13-year-old daughter hates her father and she prays that when she turns 14 she will not have to go visit him . What are the laws in the state of Indiana about the age of a child to make the decision. Or does a judge make the final decision?
Obviously having a child as a minor forces you to take on many adult responsibilities, however the mere act of having a child does not necessarily make you an adult. Unless you decide to become legally emancipated from your parents (in which case you will be considered an adult) you will not be an adult until you turn 18, which doesnt sound that far away for you.
In the state of Indiana, it is not legally advisable for a 17 year old to date a 24 year old. Although the child may be able to consent, the parents may still want to press charges against the older person for statutory rape.
No a child cannot go to adult jail but you can/will be punished as in community service or other ways.
No, they are not considered an adult at 17. They must be 18 years old.
