NY has no emancipation law actually. But I've included the "requirements" for the court to acknowledge you as emancipated and they are:\n\nIt is my understanding that New York does not have a law which provides for emancipation. (That is, unlike in most states, there is no mechanism by which a minor can go to court and formally petition to be declared an emancipated minor.) However, it is also my understanding that New York courts will recognize the status of an emancipated minor, assuming that the minor meets the essential elements of being emancipated.\n\nThose required elements are:\n\n* The minor must be aged 16 or older;\n* The minor must reside independently of his or her parents;\n* The minor must be self supporting (although public assistance or court-ordered child support payments made to the minor would not disqualify the minor from being recognized as emancipated);\n* The minor must not be in need of or receipt of foster care; and\n* The minor must be living beyond the custody and control of his or her parents.\n\nAlthough the courts don't really do emancipation, you can file for emancipation with the court. You should get or contact a lawyer to help you with this however.\n\nThis is a bit out of realm as a Trooper, so I've attached the link I used for your refrence.

As long as you are dependent on them for financial resources, basically.  Also: in the United States, until you turn 18, you are legally subject to their control in most things unless you are "judicially emancipated" (which is not easy or common).

The main routes to emancipation are, getting married (you have to be 16 and have written consent from your parents unless they are both dead or be pregnant with the husband-to-be's child), getting pregnant, joining the armed forces (but you have to be 18 for that anyway), or suing for emancipation. To sue, you have to have a reasonable way of supporting yourself and show substantial cause as to why you want to be emancipated.

Many states have laws about under age juveniles living alone.  Your brother is very young.  He may be twenty-one, but he's a college student and a "beginner" adult.  He may not want a teenaged sibling to watch over.  College age siblings do not make very good guardians!  \n\nYour best bet is to just grin and bear it in your new home.  You can always go to college in Georgia when you graduate.\n\nThere are such things as "emancipated minors", teenagers under eighteen who are granted adult status by a judge.  Those are exceptional cases and very few kids get legally emancipated.\n\nIn order to be emacipated you would have to have good, solid marketable job skills.....skills more complex than being able to run a cash register.\n\nGrin and bear it.  You will adapt to your new home.

First it does not matter, you are under the laws of your state, so if your state does not allow you to leave home till 18, if you ran off to another state, you could still be brought back to your state by the police and face charges in Juv court.\n\nAlso in no state in the US can you sign a legal contract,\nrent a house, get electric power and so on,  so even if you moved out, you would need an adult to do all the legal contracts.\n\nThere are a few states that allow 17 yr olds to move out.

depends on the situation. I know kids who have emancipated themselves from their parents at the age of 17. As long as you have someone to stay with cps ought to be able to get off of your back. FYI: I'm a Texan too, proud and true!

In order to legally enter into any contracts, such as a lease, you must either be 18, legal age of an adult in most all states, or a legally emancipated adult, which you must file a petition for emancipation with the court and a judge must sign the order.

Since emancipation’s been mentioned…the purpose of emancipation is not to allow a minor the ability to go live with a friend.  Emancipation requirements vary by state, but at a minimum you would have to prove that you are capable of fully supporting yourself—paying for rent, utilities, food, medical expenses, etc—with NO assistance from anyone.  So living with a friend and depending on them for even partial support/help/assistance isn't going to cut it.  AND you would have to provide the court with a valid reason that emancipation would be in your best interest.  You didn’t state your reason, but IF it involves things along the lines of just not getting along with your parents or wanting more freedom that’s not a valid reason.  Even if you meet all the requirements the court can still deny emancipation for any reason that they see fit, including, but not limited to, their belief that you lack the maturity to function as an adult.  Emancipation is not a quick or easy process and more often than not it is denied.\n\nOf course, your parents can give you permission to live with a friend, provided it’s a safe and appropriate environment.  That friend, however, is not going to be able to do things such as enroll you in school, consent to your medical care, etc unless they have some type of temporary custody.

It is only available to 14 or 15 year olds.\n\nhttp://www.tennessee.gov/safety/driverlicense/dltypes.htm#hardship

A minor over the age of 16 may petition the court to become emancipated.  This allows her to be independent.  The link below explains and offers more information and links to forms.  Otherwise, she is stuck there until 18.

"The court may determine that emancipation has occurred and no other support obligation exists when the child:  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (a) Attains the age of twenty-one (21) years, or  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (b) Marries, or  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (c) Discontinues full-time enrollment in school and obtains full-time employment prior to attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years, or  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (d) Voluntarily moves from the home of the custodial parent or guardian and establishes independent living arrangements and obtains full-time employment prior to attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years.  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (9)  Upon motion of a party requesting temporary child support pending a determination of parentage, temporary support shall be ordered if there is clear and convincing evidence of paternity on the basis of genetic tests or other evidence, unless the court makes written findings of fact on the record that the award of temporary support would be unjust or inappropriate in a particular case.  \n\n  \n \n \n \n \n   \n \n Sources: Codes, 1942, § 1263.5; Laws,  1960, ch. 268; Laws, 1984, ch. 367; Laws, 1985, ch. 518, § 16; Laws, 1993, ch. 506, § 15; Laws, 1994, ch. 591, § 7; Laws,  1996, ch. 345, § 2; Laws, 1999, ch. 512, § 15; Laws, 2000, ch. 530, § 6, eff from and after July 1, 2000."\n\n \nGet an attorney and have him help you do the above.  But, for goodness sake, think about what you are doing before you try to take on the world as a teenager.  It's much harder than you could possibly imagine.

depends on where you live cause I know in Texas you can move out at 17 and your parents can't do anything about it.

As others have said, you must be 18 to get married without parental consent. You can leave home at 17 if your parents allow it, but if they do not, there is little you can do to keep them from making you come back home. If they do try to do that, you can petition in court by arguing that you are in fact emancipated because you care for yourself, but really, it's simpler to wait until you're 18; it's really not that long to wait.

That means that the child is basically "divorcing" their parents.  They will be deemed as adults through the law.  Example: A 16 year old who becomes emancipated is legally considered a adult.  That child is able to make there own decisions and will no longer re lie on the parents for financial support, "Emancipation ends the parents' rights to control his or her minor child or to participate in any decision-making about the child. If a child is emancipated, the parents no longer have the right to determine where the child lives or goes to school, or how the child's money is spent. The parent also has no right to the Minor's wages or earnings." (http://www.clcm.org/minors_rights.htm).\nGood Luck
