What is the name of your state? New York
My daugter, age 20, lives with me and I have physical custody. My ex does not pay me CS directly as I pay her the difference between what she would pay me for the one daughter and what I would pay her for the two daughters. [My income is larger than hers.] (I share joint custody for her and her two younger sisters who live with my ex.) My daughter is currently unemployed having just quit her job, is not attending school at this time (fall - perhaps part-time), is not in the military, does not pay rent or provide any income to me for food, utilities, etc. My ex is asking my daughter to sign papers of emancipation..My daughter begged her mother not to ask her to do this, not to put her in the middle of the two of us, but the ex is relentless and my daughter is very upset. I have the the following questions:
1. Is emancipation from my ex, from me, or from both of us?
2. Is this possible considering the "rules" for emancipation in NYS?
3. What are the legal ramifications for my daughter if she goes through with this?
4. What are the ramifications on my medical/dental insurance coverage through my employer? I currently cover all of the kids under my policies.
5. Do you recommend my daughter have an attorney review the paperwork before she signs?
