    OPINION - FOR PUBLICATION

VAIDIK, Judge

(1) The child is emancipated before becoming twenty-one (21) years of age. In this case the child support, except for the educational needs outlined in section 2(a)(1) of this chapter, terminates at the time of emancipation, although an order for educational needs may continue in effect until further order of the court.
(2) The child is incapacitated. In this case the child support continues during the incapacity or until further order of the court.
(3) The child:
(A) is at least eighteen (18) years of age;
(B) has not attended a secondary or postsecondary school for the prior four (4) months and is not enrolled in a secondary or postsecondary school; and
(C) is or is capable of supporting himself or herself through employment.
In this case the child support terminates upon the court’s finding that the conditions prescribed in this subdivision exist. However, if the court finds that the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) are met but that the child is only partially supporting or is capable of only partially supporting himself or herself, the court may order that support be modified instead of terminated.

(b) For purposes of determining if a child is emancipated under subsection (a)(1), if the court finds that the child:

(1) has joined the United States armed services;
(2) has married; or
(3) is not under the care or control of:
(A) either parent; or
(B) an individual or agency approved by the court;
the court shall find the child emancipated and terminate the child support.

According to this statute, there are four ways to establish emancipation, specifically subsections (a)(3), (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3). A child may not qualify for emancipation under one of the subsections yet may meet the requirements for emancipation under another. See Borders, 800 N.E.2d at 591. Therefore, a trial court should consider all four subsections when making an emancipation determination.     
On appeal, Father argues that H.R. is emancipated pursuant to both subsection (a)(3) and (b)(3). We address each of these subsections in turn.

Tr. of March Hearing p. 16. As clarified by H.R. on cross-examination, as of November 4, 2002, H.R. still had to complete a few more steps before Purdue accepted her. Nevertheless, the trial court found that “it is uncontroverted that [H.R.] was enrolled in a postsecondary school in September, 2002 prior to her father’s filing.” Appellant’s App. p. 11 (emphasis in original). In order to determine whether the trial court’s finding is clearly erroneous, we turn to the definition of “enroll.”
When the meaning of a statute is at issue, we follow several rules of statutory construction. Ind. Office of Envtl. Adjudication v. Kunz, 714 N.E.2d 1190, 1193 (Ind. Ct. App. 1999). We do not interpret a statute that is facially clear and unambiguous; rather, we give the statute its plain and clear meaning. Id. Additionally, when construing a statute, the legislature’s definition of a word binds us. Id. When the legislature has not defined a word, we give the word its common and ordinary meaning. Id. In order to determine the plain and ordinary meaning of words, courts may properly consult English language dictionaries. Id.
“Enroll” is not defined in Title 31 of the Indiana Code, which governs family law and juvenile law. However, Title 20 of the Indiana Code, which governs education, defines “enroll”—as used in Indiana Code ch. 20-12-71—as “the process enabling a student to become a bona fide member of the student body of the postsecondary institution and entitling the student to officially audit or receive academic credit for on-campus instruction in Indiana.” Ind. Code § 20-12-71-6. Although this definition of “enroll” is not dispositive because it does not apply to Title 31, it nevertheless informs our decision. See Stewart v. State, 754 N.E.2d 492, 495 (Ind. 2001) (looking to other inapplicable provisions of the Indiana Code to help define “custodial parent”). Additionally, the dictionary defines “enroll” in pertinent part as “to register . . . into an official record on execution.” Black’s Law Dictionary 551 (7th ed. 1999). After viewing these definitions of “enroll,” we conclude that “is enrolled” as used in Indiana Code § 31-16-6-6 means more than being involved in the application process; rather, it means that one has been accepted to the institution and is officially registered at the institution as a student.
Here, H.R. was still involved in the application process at the time Father filed his petition for emancipation. Therefore, H.R. was not enrolled in Purdue. The trial court’s finding to the contrary is clearly erroneous. This does not end our inquiry however, for all three requirements of subsection (a)(3) must be fulfilled before emancipation is appropriate and thus we must address whether the trial court’s finding that H.R. was neither self-supporting nor capable of supporting herself is clearly erroneous.
Before emancipation a child must be or be capable of “supporting himself or herself through employment.” I.C. § 31-16-6-6(a)(3)(C). In the trial court’s order granting Mother’s motion to correct error, the court found that
the issue of whether [H.R.] was or was capable of supporting herself is not nearly as clear as either party portrays it. At best, the evidence was equivocal as to that issue. It was father’s burden of proof to establish that [H.R.] was or was capable of supporting herself. The court feels he fell short of his burden of proof.

Appellant’s App. p. 11. In the trial court’s order denying Father’s motion to correct error, the court “remain[ed] of the opinion that the child was not self-supporting as she continued to rely upon the financial assistance of her parents, was not required to pay rent or a mortgage thereby easing her financial obligations, and was working in order to afford college.” Appellant’s App. p. 14. Father argues that this finding is clearly erroneous because H.R. was eighteen years old, living with her boyfriend, and working full-time. Father says that this is especially true considering that “[n]owadays, in the twenty-first century, it is extremely common for people to live together but never marry.” Appellant’s Br. p. 15. Although under normal circumstances an eighteen-year-old child’s act of moving out of a parental home and moving in with a boyfriend or girlfriend while having a full-time job may satisfy subsection (a)(3)(C), under the facts and circumstances presented here, that is not the case.
    H.R. and her boyfriend moved into a rent-free house about fifteen miles south of Lafayette. H.R., who finished near the top of her high school class, took a semester off and worked full-time to save money to attend Purdue. During this time, H.R. still received financial assistance from her parents for groceries, clothing, and the like. Tr. of March Hearing p. 20. Considering the evidence most favorable to the judgment and not reweighing the evidence or assessing witness credibility, we cannot conclude that the trial court’s finding that H.R. was neither self-supporting nor capable of supporting herself is clearly erroneous. Because Father has failed to prove that H.R. satisfied all three requirements under subsection (a)(3), H.R. is not emancipated under this subsection. We now address Father’s argument that H.R. is emancipated pursuant to subsection (b)(3).
