Unclear on NY Emancipation Laws

[CuriousGeorge33]

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? NY

I know that for NY the legal age of emancipation is 21, but, are there other circumstances taken into consideration? Let's say, the child no longer attends school - walked out at 16 and never returned. No longer lives with the CP, lives with a girlfriend/boyfriend and their parent. The CP is still receiving CS but the child is no longer living at home. The CP has been married again (& divorced) and has other children from that marriage.

Does the NCP have to continue making CS payments when the $ is not going to the intended child? Obviously this is something the court has to determine, but, how would they normally rule in this type of situation? The $ is basically being used as alimony - free $$ for the CP to spend the way they want. The child is going to be 18 in a couple of months. What should the NCP do in this situation? Very frustrated over a very sad situation.

I feel your pain and I have written my NYS reps for a good answer... My daughter is going to be living at college and my ex is not going to give her any of the child support I am paying. The ex is pushing my daughter to get a $10k loan per year to pay for college. So she is putting my daughter in debt for college and I give $650 per month in support that could pay for most of the college.... I am sad and confused with the NYS Legal System......

Dude, OP has been gone from this site for 4 years now.... You think you're really going to get an answer in a 4 year old thread?

If you have a question, start your very own thread.
