Another Quick Blog
Well, Son finally came home Sunday. He has not talked to any of us. He came because he's out of money; none for gas or lunch at school. I guess the situation is in a transitional stage now. He wants to become emancipated, but to do so in Indiana requires some stuff he doesn't have like:
(a) The juvenile court may emancipate a child under section 1(5) [IC 31-34-20-1(5)] of this chapter if the court finds that the child:
(1) wishes to be free from parental control and protection and no longer needs that control and protection;
(2) has sufficient money for the child's own support;
(3) understands the consequences of being free from parental control and protection; and
(4) has an acceptable plan for independent living.
(b) If the juvenile court partially or completely emancipates the child, the court shall specify the terms of the emancipation, which may include the following:
(1) Suspension of the parent's or guardian's duty to support the child. In this case the judgment of emancipation supersedes the support order of a court.
(2) Suspension of the following:
(A) The parent's or guardian's right to the control or custody of the child.
(B) The parent's right to the child's earnings.
(3) Empowering the child to consent to marriage.
(4) Empowering the child to consent to military enlistment.
(5) Empowering the child to consent to:
(A) medical;
(B) psychological;
(C) psychiatric;
(D) educational; or
(E) social services.
(6) Empowering the child to contract.
(7) Empowering the child to own property.
(c) An emancipated child remains subject to the following:
(1) IC 20-8.1-3 concerning compulsory school attendance.
(2) The continuing jurisdiction of the court.
He's 17 and the only job he had was when he was 12 and a newspaper boy. I don't think he's going to be emancipated.
We'll see how the drug test and evaluation goes and take it from there. He'll be 18 in not too many more months. Why can't he just behave for that long?
More to come later and next time, there will be a poem.
