Re: Emancipation in ny
If he is not dependent on her for anything, i.e. health insurance coverage, then he may be considered emancipated. If you believe he is emancipated you have to file a petition in Family Court and provide proof that he is gainfully employed full-time and that he is not dependent on his mother (or you for that matter) for anything. You should speak with an attorney as soon as practicable. Feel free to contact me by email.
