At the time they plan to move, one of the young ladies will be 17 and the second will be 1 month away from turning 17. They want to live by themselves with no adults. I need to know what Indiana's law is in this regard please.

No. Even if you're a parent, if you are under 18 your parents still have the right to custody of you and the responsibility to support you, until you turn 18 or become legally emancipated.

Most likely no to both questions unless it was a willful deliberate act.

Once you turn eighteen (18), you may go and do as you please.
Defender did too and I was never taken to court. My 6 month extension wasn't granted and they gave custody to grandparents.

I am not sure what the exact question is, but based on these facts (which do not state when this occurred) I would have the public defender (if he represents in the Juvenile action), file a notice of appeal and get counsel appointed to file an appeal. You will want an attorney to navigate the... View More

What is your question? It sounds like either an aggravated assault or justifiable self defense.
want to file a couple of motions, one being a motion to dismiss.
do we need to submit only one motion with one or both parties named?

Unfortunately this is not the best forum to get step by step instructions on how to handle your own legal representation. If you want to file a couple of motions I would google those motions and see if you can find assistance. And you file a motion on your own behalf for relief you personally are... View More

You have an attorney. You should be discussing any issues you have with any orders and the outcome of your case with your attorney. Another attorney can't even represent you while you have a current attorney on record. Sit down with your attorney and discuss what happened in your case.

You can file a petition for emancipation in the district court of the county in which you reside but it may be difficult to have granted without your parent(s) on board.

It’s important to review the reason for denial and consult with an attorney who can assess your specific situation, especially since the live scan did not reveal any record. An attorney can assist in determining if there's a basis to challenge the denial or if other relief, such as a... View More

You should get an attorney who represents parents in juvenile cases to represent you. I fear you're going to have a very hard time getting your child back representing yourself.

Whether or not DCFS takes your kids depends on a number of factors, including the ages of your children, how long they were left alone, and whether or not they were in danger. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.

Unfortunately, without knowing more facts on the basis for the TPO, we can't advise on the strength of the TPO. Her only having temporary custody would not be a restriction to filing a TPO.

I am confused a bit by your question.
Anyway, If there is a warrant out for anyone, it stays a warrant until it is dismissed or it is executed (by arrest).
If it was made unlawfully, it can be quashed, but that may take a while, and quashing it would require you to go to court to... View More
