New York Emancipation

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: New York

There are none. IF you are living away from home WITH your parents' permission AND you can prove to the satisfaction of the state that you are successfully supporting yourself, alone and unaided, then the state MIGHT, if it is in a very good mood that day, deign to consider you emancipated. But there is no court procedure you can go through to get declared emancipated.

I am a 15 year old (16 in september) female living in New York. I live with my grandmother (Dad's mom) my mother lost custody of because she has no place to live and still does not after almost 4 years, my father cannot have custody do to charges of Endangering the welfare of a child. My dad pays my grandmother $75 a week, and my mother pays her about $17 dollars a week. At my grandmother's house I have to deal with mental abuse, lack of any interest, and my grandmother and her boyfriend are always drinking and fighting. I have no job but am attending school full time. I want to try and move into my boyfriend's mother's house when I am 16, she is much more stable and caring. As of right now living at my grandmother's house, she gets foodstamps for me, I have medicade, and other help from social services. Would it be possible for me to move out when I turn 16 and recieve all the financial help I get now in my granmother's custody? Or would she be able to get me in trouble with the law if I leave without her permission when I'm 16?

Ok? That obviosly means no. I thought with my circumstances maybe I would have a shot, but you did not have to rude. I sort of got the feeling you were reffering to me being stupid!

If your grandmother has custody, or is your guardian, you live where she says she lives until you are 18 and not one minute before. There is NO state where a 16 year old can move out without permission.

The law does not change because of your circumstances. It is what it is. Nor does ANY state grant emancipation on the basis of bad circumstances at home.

First, if you want to be emancipated, you are CHOOSING to be treated like an adult... it ain't all good.

Second, you may not be stupid, but, like a child, you want a way to figure out how the rules don't apply in YOUR case. You have no job. You aren't living apart already. You want to move into your boyfriend's mother's home for goodness sake.

All things covered in the sticky you didn't bother to read.
