I want to move in with my dads girlfriend who has been like a mother to me for 4 yrs i am 16?

Question

my dad's girlfriend who i usually call step mom wants to move out of my dads house and in with her mother. she says that she would take me with. I read up on the emancipation laws for new york state and it says you have to be living separately from your parents. well if i move out with her can my parents call the cops? am i allowed to move out at the age of 16 in new york with her without my parents forcing me to come back?

Answer 1

Yes -- You can move where ever you want when you reach 16yo in New York State.

Once you are away from your parents home for about a year (if I recall correctly) then you can file for Legal Emancipation.
