Q: In Indiana do you have to be emacipated at the age of 18 in order to have your rights over medical appointments?
The persons mom told them since they are 18 they need to be emancipated before they can have legal rights over their medical appointments
A: An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. It may have gotten overlooked in the Products Liability category (where it was originally posted), which is basically about injuries from dangerous/defective products. This could be closer to Family Law or Health Care Law. Some questions go unanswered, but you could try reposting under those headings. Good luck
