Ask a Lawyer: Indiana emancipation

Question:

I have an 18 year old son living with his Mom in Indiana. He graduated high school in May and will be going to College in the Fall. I just learned that he has joined the Indiana National Guard. Does this qualify as military service? Is this grounds for emancipation? He starts his basic training in a few weeks.

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Indiana. That should be grounds for emancipation unless there are extenuating circumstances.
