    Exclamation New York Emancipation

    I'm not to clear on the ways of emancipation for New York. I know that they don't actually have a law for it, but I have a friend who is being kicked out of his house by his parents. They want to put him in Foster care and he's 17 years old. I feel he should become emancipated, but I need to know what the rights and regulations are for it. So if anybody can help me please help me ASAP! I've only got till the 27th of this month.

    Default Re: New York Emancipation

    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.
