Answer #1

From what I understand, there is no court proceeding in New York State to become “emancipated”. It is a status that is received when people meet certain requirements ie.

* The youth must be living apart from his/her parents;
* The youth must be self supporting (may be receiving public benefits or child support if required by court order);
* The youth is not in need/receipt of foster care;
* The youth is living beyond the custody and control of the parent;
* The youth is over the age of 16.
