    Lightbulb Emancipation in New York

    I know that there are no legal forms to fill out in the state of new york to become emancipated but what are the guidelines and how do you prove that you are emancipated? Can i have my bills in someone elses name and still be emancipated? How long would i have to be employed to prove that i can support myself? Can i move out of state and not be made to come back? What would happen if i had a roomate and split the bills with them? Could they get in trouble for any reason? How do i prove that i am living beyond the custody and control of my parents? Any help would be appreciated.

    Default Re: Emancipation in New York

    Although there is no statute, New York apparently recognizes a common law path to emancipation. The following are elements that are generally described as what a minor must establish to achieve emancipation in New York.
    • The minor must be aged 16 or older;
    • The minor must reside independently of his or her parents;
    • The minor must be self supporting (although public assistance or court-ordered child support payments made to the minor would not disqualify the minor from being recognized as emancipated);
    • The minor must not be in need of or receipt of foster care; and
    • The minor must be living beyond the custody and control of his or her parents.
    Your evidence would include such things as your lease agreement, pay stubs, bank account statements, etc.
