(iv) Is convicted of a felony and is sentenced to incarceration of two (2) or more years for committing such felony; or

(ii) Voluntarily moves from the home of the custodial parent or guardian, establishes independent living arrangements, obtains full-time employment and discontinues educational endeavors prior to attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years, or
