Can I Become Emancipated

[james'smommy09]

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: new york
can i become emancipated? I'm 16 years old i have a baby i would be living with my boy friend who is also the father of my baby?

Even if New York had a statute for Emancipation it means supporting yourself without the help of others. Living with your boyfriend is not doing that. Supporting a child makes it twice as difficult as well.

and a court is not going to emancipate a teen so she can live with the man who got her pregnant

Life is hard, kiddo, and it won't get any easier when you're finally of age to move out. Get used to it now, because it's ugly out here in the Real World.

"I hate my home life" is simply not reason enough for the courts to emancipate - in those locales where emancipation is even possible. Media foofooraw aside, emancipation is very rare and meant for very specific situations. Your situation is not one of them.

Well, you're going to have to take it because even if your state allowed minor emancipation, which it does not, nothing you have posted suggests that you are a candidate for it. Nor does moving in with your boyfriend qualify as supporting yourself, which is an absolute for emancipation.

If you think life is stressful now, you haven't seen anything yet. You have a roof over your head, food in your belly, and your bills are paid.

Things get harder from here, and the fact that you have a baby at 16 years old means you and your baby are sentenced to a life of hardship and poverty for at least the next 20 years.

You think life is hard now? Wait until your boyfriend doesn't think you're all that cute anymore, raising and paying for a baby isn't cool anymore and he doesn't want to be bothered. Now, double that with living with him and having no where to go after he puts you out.

I know, that won't happen because you guys LOVE each other.....

thank you you but im not going to be living in poverty because i had a baby at 16 thank you but alone my boyfriend make about 2 thousand a month and i have a job im not going to be living in poverty me and my son will have a good life

[CourtClerk]

Yes, we know. the probably is that your boyfriend's $2,000/mo doesn't belong to you. Not one red cent of it. Oh, and if you look at the figures little miss genius, $2000/mo between the THREE of you, IS poverty level.
