What is the name of your state? NY
My daughter is 18 and has one year left in high school. She has been talking about moving out for a year and a half and is finally doing it. I helped her and her boyfriend find a place they would be more likely to afford. This is where I start getting confused/irritated. She is on my auto insurance and under me for medical insurance. If her legal address changes the medical insurance is gone (maybe for the whole family as it is through the state). Her father wants to pay her her portion of the child support directly. She has told him that I have helped her out a lot lately and doesn't want to hurt me and that she has to stay on my med. and auto insurance.
In reading about emancipation in NY, her living on her own and supporting herself would emancipate her. Now, I am going to be paying her phone bill, and buying her groceries. I have already bought stuff for the trailer. I also pay $74 a month on her auto insurance as she can't affort to pay it all in one month. Does this constitue being self-supportive and being emancipated? And if I know the system well enough, he would have to take me back to court for a new child support order. Right or not? (Background...we have been separated since Aug 1999, legally since Jan 5, 2000 and just went to court for child support order for the first time in June 2004).
Any help is appreciated...Thanks
