Come and go where? His home or her home with you?
This really has noting to do with emancipation.
Re: New York Emancipation
You're right it doesn't. I tried to ask two questions at once. Come and go between our two homes. I have full/sole custody of her but he keeps telling me that she is 16 and, in New York, she can come and go as she pleases.

Then you take him back to court and report him for violating the visitation agreement.
Re: New York Emancipation
Concur with Patty. The legal age of majority in New York is 18 - as it is in most other states in the Union. (In a couple states, it's higher - 19 in Alabama and Nebraska, 21 in DC and Mississippi.)
Until she turns 18, no, she may NOT come and go as she pleases. She comes and goes as YOU please.
Re: New York Emancipation
And New York does not have an emancipation statute.
Re: New York Emancipation
And further...stepdad has NO rights to visitation at all.
Why does he think YOUR child can decide to visit him without YOUR consent?
