[QUOTE="helpmehelphim, post: 56166, member: 2650"] Actually here are some of the rules that apply to emancipated minors in New York. The rules vary from state to state and some are more strict while others are not. One would have to look up their state to understand how the rules apply. Most though will not let a minor own property. And most banks do not give loans to minors with-o someone to co-sign regardless of the financial status. Here is how New York defines it and applies the rules: Q. 1.1 How is Emancipation defined? The term emancipation applies to youth over the age of 16 and under 18 who are: (1) living separate and apart from their parents; (2) not receiving any financial support from them (except by court order or benefits to which they are entitled, i.e. Social Security); (3) living beyond the parent's custody and control; and, (4) not in foster care. Emancipation involves the renunciation of the legal obligations of a parent and the surrender of parental rights over the child. It may occur when a parent is unwilling or unable to meet his/her obligations to one's child or when a child refuses to comply with the reasonable rules of a parent and leaves home. In New York State, there is no Emancipation Statute or court proceeding in which an Order of Emancipation can be obtained. In New York, the status of a youth as an Emancipated Minor depends on the facts. Whether an Emancipated Minor has the same rights as an adult depends upon the relevant law. Emancipation does not give a minor adult status in all areas. An Emancipated Minor is not allowed to vote; An Emancipated Minor is still required to obtain parental consent to get working papers and is limited in the kindsof jobs he/she can perform; An Emancipated Minor cannot bring a lawsuit and must have an adult commence any litigation on his/her behalf; An Emancipated Minor cannot buy, sell or control real estate; Age and consent requirements to marry apply regardless of emancipation; An Emancipated Minor cannot join the military; An Emancipated Minor is subject to statutory rape laws and age requirements governing consent; An Emancipated Minor cannot get a learner's permit or driver's license without parental consent; An Emancipated Minor cannot rent a campsite; Parental consent is required to obtain routine health care. As in any case involving a minor, an emancipated minorcan obtain health care without parental consent when it involves an emergency, a sexually transmitted disease, family planning services, alcohol and mental health treatment, or if the minor is pregnant, a parent, or married.
