    Post Can a Minor Get Emancipated to Move Out and Live With a Friend

    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?

    New York does not have a statute to emancipate a minor. If your parents give you permission to move out AND if you successfully support yourself the state MAY decide to consider you emancipated, but there is no means by which you can go to court and come out emancipated.

    You may NOT move out at 16 (or 17, for that matter) without your parents' permission.

    Not going to happen. You are too young to hit the lottery before 18.

    So chip in on the bills and groceries, then.
