Q: I am 17, I live with my grandparent's. I want to be emancipated, but I've been told there is no such thing in NY.
A: David's Answer: There is no official "status" of
declaring yourself emancipated. Bear in mind that if you move out
without permission, you may forfeit your right to request any form of
financial assistance from your parents or guardians. Schedule a consult
with a Family Law attorney in your area for more info.
