In New York State if you're 17 years old and you have parental permisson to live with an 18-year-old would that be considered legal?

Answer 1

if it is anyone other then you legal gaurdians then yes it is illegal you and the other person will be arrested if it is a guy that is over 18 he could be arrested for a couple things including kidnapping

Answer 2

It would not as defined by the state age of majority be considered "legal". Taking into consideration the ages of the persons involved and the parents not objecting to the situation, it is very unlikely that authorities would take action of any type. The exception would be if the young lady or young man incurred legal problems for instance a violation connected to alcohol or illegal substances, domestic violence, etc.

Answer 3

The only way you can leave home legally at age 17 (in NYS) is to become "Emancipated". This involves your parents signing a document that states you are officially on your own, they cant claim you on their taxes, they dont have you on their insurance, and you dont live under their roof.

Answer 4

Yes.

The legal age of majority for the State of New York is 18.

A person reaching the age of majority may leave the family home if they so choose.

Parents of a child who has reached the legal age of majority no longer have legal rights to said child unless there is a court order in affect that states otherwise.

Answer 5

Your parents are still technically responsible for your support. However, if you're supporting yourself and not breaking any laws, it's not likely that anyone other than your immediate family will even notice, much less complain.

Answer 6

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.

Answer 7

With the parents' permission, yes. You can move out at 16 as long as you have your parent/guardian signature.

Answer 8

No, it's not.

Answer 9

Yep :p
