My question involves juvenile law in the State of: New York
I'm 16 and I'm done at home. My parents don't abuse me physically or mentally and I love them. But I no longer want to live under their roof. If I get a steady job by the time I turn 17 in may I'd like to get emancipated. My parents aren't the richest of people and if I provided for myself they wouldn't have to pay for many things. My good friend doesn't live very far away and is building extensions to his house. One extension being a spear bedroom large enough for living. If I pay rent and my own food and everything I need to live does this count as a legal home? Will this count on providing for myself?
