If Somebody is Willing to Take You In Can You Get Emancipated

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: New York

I'm 16 years old, I have a job, and I have family members willing to help support me. I would like to get emancipated because my household isn't a good one. My whole life I've been physically and mentally a used by my mother and most of my mothers boyfriends, that I'm tired of it. My mom is used to leaving me home alone for days, and I can very well support myself. I have a very close family member here that I can also move in with, until I can rent my own apartment and I have a car that would bring me from place to place. I need to know if its free to get emancipated in New York, and if I have to get a parent signature. And what can I do if my mother refuses to sign the paper, if there is one. I'm willing to speak to anyone. I just need an answer quick. Thank you.

Start by reading ANY of the thousands of threads about emancipation. Your chances stopped right here:

Emancipation means you and ONLY you providing ALL - 100% - of your support - including market rate for rent (assuming you can find a landlord willing to rent to you), utilities, transportation, health insurance, and ALL the daily expenses of life - while at the same time achieving above average grades in school and having NO behavioral issues, truancy, criminal issues, or mental health issues. It also means being able to show a judge a history of your paychecks that would show that you currently make enough to cover all of those expenses without ANY additional aid.

On TOP of all of that, New York doesn't have a process for YOU to seek emancipation. The only ways to be emancipated in NY are via marriage (which requires parental consent for minors), via joining the military, or as part of some OTHER court action taken by the parents, such as seeking to terminate child support.

If abuse is an issue, or you are being neglected, child services needs to be contacted.

If you are capable of typing a paragraph, surely you are capable of spending ten seconds reviewing the stickied threads, so you don't end up being one of the many children posting to this forum who waste our time with questions we have already repeatedly answered.

Read this and this. You're not residing independently of your parents, you're not presently supporting yourself, and you remain in parental custody, so you are not eligible for emancipation.

Would your mom consider granting "temporary" guardianship to your relatives?
