Child Moves in With Roommate for College

[Baruchian]

What is the name of your state? NY
Is it possible that the non-custodial parent can cancel child support if the child moves in with a roommate for college off-campus and does not live with the custodial parent for the year? Key Facts:
Child Support is paid in full to the child.
Child visits both parents.
Child does not support him/her-self.
Child will be claimed as a dependent on the custodial parent's taxes.

Would the child be considered emancipated under these circumstances?

I doubt it. College does not emancipate a child. The child is not supporting himself/herself. Living in an apartment with a roommate vs living in a dorm is a normal housing method for college. I don't see any element here that would be emancipation under NY law.

How old is the child? In NY CS would go to age 21, unless there is also a provision for college.

If they are OLDER than 21, the NCP may indeed be able to stop CS.
