If you're 16 in New York state and do not wish to live with your parent or guardian and want to become emancipated and move to another state what would you have to do to obtain this right?

Answer 1

The state of New York does not have an emancipation statue. In New York, whether or not a minor is emancipated depends on the facts of the situation. Generally, a person is considered to be emancipated if: (1) he or she is married (2) he or she has joined the military (3) he or she is 16 or older, is self supporting, and resides independently from his or her parents However, in order to reside independently from your parents, they have to agree to allow it. If you leave home without their permission, they can report you as a runaway and have you picked up by the authorities and returned home.
