New York does not have grounds nor procedures for emancipation of minors. It is however the legal right of every individual to petition the court for a decree of emancipation. The basic requirement is that the minor be able to present substantiated evidence they can conduct their personal affairs without adult involvement. This means being gainfully employed, paying for their own food, shelter, clothing, medical care, continuing education (if applicable) and so forth.
New York State does not issue "emancipation orders". A child may only be emancipated as a part of some other court action, such as when a parent thinks he should not have to pay to support an emancipated child.
If there is no official court process for becoming emancipated, what conditions must I meet to be considered emancipated?
In order to be considered emancipated, you must:
· Be over the age of 16
· Not live with either of your parents (unless you live away from home only because of school, camp, college, or other temporary situation)
· Not receive any financial support from your parents (unless a court has ordered them to pay you support or you only receive benefits that you are entitled to, such as Social Security)
· Have your own job as your main source of income (unless your job is only a summer or vacation job)
· Not be in foster care, or under court ordered supervision
You can also be considered emancipated if you:
· Enter the military
· Get married
A child might be considered emancipated if he/she leaves his/her parents home without a good reason. The child must also refuse to obey the reasonable demands of his/her parents. If the child leaves for a good reason, however, (such as child abuse) the parents will most likely still have to support their child. If that child is under 16, however, they will not be emancipated and will only fall under the supervision of Family Court.
