    Default Son Wishes to Emancipate in New Mexico

    Can you help me understand the law and what kind of time line this takes. My son is 16, 17 in February. He has found a place to live (New Mexico), has a job and has worked out a budget. He would like to leave yesterday, he hates it here. What does he have to do, what are my responsibilty to him before he leaves. Am I legally responsible while he is living at someone else home, before he is(if) emancipated. Where does he find the information or who does he contact. I'd like to be sure that the information he is giving me is correct. I have told him if he is going to do this he had to do it on his own, but I would like to understand the process. Thank you for your help.

    The emancipation needs to be filed in the state he has residence in which is? By the way not all states have a Statute for emancipation

    I cannot find the New Mexico statute (if ther eis one) but a one day $7.95 an hour job will not be enough to convince a judge to grant such a request. However he can live anywhere "with" your consent

    If I give consent for him to live somewhere are his father and I still responsible for his actions. Also he does have a savings account with apx $300.00 in it. Will this money make a diffrence.
