Q: I would like to know if i can move out at 17 . I'm having trouble at home
A: David's Answer: Generally you must do so only with your parent's consent, as otherwise your parents could file a "person in need of supervision" petition against you in Family Court. That said, the age of emancipation in NY for custody purposes is 18, not 21. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
