    Default What can I do to emancipate my 16-yr-old boy in New York

    My son is 15yrs old soon to be 16. He has quit school, drinks alcohol a lot,sleeps all day, stays out to all hours. His friends have brought alcohol to my house while I am sleeping. The one positive thing is he works 18 hrs a week at Mcdonald's. I am tired of his attitude and his lifestyle.We live in upstate NY and I want him out of my house. I can't do this anymore.

    New York's common law emancipation anticipates a responsible, self-supporting minor, not one who will be unable to manage his personal affairs or support himself. Perhaps you should consult the Department of Social Services to see if there are any programs available which could benefit you.
