    Default New York Emancipation

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: New York
    Is there an emancipation law in the state of New York? What rights does my 16 year old have in terms of where/when she visits her stepdad? He seems to think that in this state, she can come and go as she please because of her age.

    Come and go where? His home or her home with you?

    This really has noting to do with 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.

    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.

    And New York does not have an emancipation statute.

    And further...stepdad has NO rights to visitation at all.

    Why does he think YOUR child can decide to visit him without YOUR consent?
