Emancipation, new york state - age 17 w/ a baby engaged and self supporting with a job, what to do?

Postby curney13 » Fri May 25, 2012 4:48 am

One thanks for reading. I understand people get heated over the discussion of a minor becoming emancipated however, im not one of those people to say im abused or being hurt that is a whole other case via cps.

My main question is under new york statue it relates to the objectively noted law that no emancipation proxy exsists.

I understand fully the consequences of my actions as I am mature enough to make them and support myself and my child.

I wish to live with the mother and I no longer receive anything except healthcare from my parents.

I have a job, money a car and a place to live. I had ran away however notifying the police on my departure explaining the situation I was in. Very stressful and unappreciative family, fighting all the time and slamming and screaming just an unsafe enviornment.

Do I feeling as if I am a self dependant, self responsible adult who considers themself to be emancipated have any grounds for a successful trial?

What's my next step as this was my first retrieval by the police as a runaway?

And how if new york has no emancipation petition?

You're 17. Which means that, if you stick it out until the minute you turn 18, then no problem at all.

Until then: if you are being abused, then contact child welfare and have them place you in a foster home. That doesn't get you what you want, but it's better than living with abusive parents.

Since that isn't your situation, then you have no recourse, unless your parents give permission. You'd need that for emancipation, anyway.

"...except healthcare from my parents."

Yeah, no. Emancipation means you get nothing. Not even healthcare. You have to pay that on your own.

Because NY has no emancipation statute, it would up to a judge to determine that, with you parents support, you should be emancipated due to extraordinary circumstances.

Having a child might qualify, but maybe not. More likely, the judge will want to see that the child is cared for, not just you and your fiancee, but also by one of your parents.

And, I'm going to say it again: without parental approval (or proof of abuse), you're not going to get anything.
