Straight from the horse's mouth: http://www.nycourts.gov/courthelp/Family/emancipatedChild.shtml

In New York State, a parent must financially support a child until the child turns 21 years old or becomes emancipated.

When a child is emancipated, it means that the child no longer lives with the parents and is self-supporting.

If the child is financially dependent on a parent, that child is not emancipated. A child who was once emancipated can become dependent again on the parents before turning 21 years of age.

In general, a child under 21 is emancipated if:

• The child is married.
• The child is in the military.
• The child finished 4 years of college.
• The child is 18 years old and working full-time (summer or vacation jobs don't count).
• The child permanently leaves home and ended the relationship with both parents for no good reason (except if the child left home because of abuse by a parent or a similar reason).

in California being pregnant makes you "emancipated"

No, being pregnant in California does NOT make you "emancipated" in the way that you mean. Also, California is irrelevant.

They don't exist.

• "The child permanently leaves home and ended the relationship with both parents for no good reason (except if the child left home because of abuse by a parent or a similar reason)" Does that mean she can come live with me?

No, that does not mean she can come live with you. Besides, what about the other kids?

WOW!!! What a stupid waste of time and effort it would be for me to make this up. What would be the point??

I don't know...what is your point? You don't seem receptive to actually doing something proactive to help these children by contacting child protective services...so what is your point?

 

[Zigner]

Less time on the internet.
More time contacting authorities.

You are a troll.

 

[Zigner]

As a broken-hearted grandparent who was cut off from a grandchild due to reporting a less-than-ideal (that's being generous) situation to the authorities, I have really been giving you (the OP) the benefit of the doubt here. I'm done. I think you are a troll who is simply seeking attention. What would be the point indeed...
