Minors

I am 16 and my mother and I do not get along. She sometimes calls me names. I also have a little sister in my home. I do not want my little sister to see my mom and I yelling and screaming at each other 24/7. Can I be emancipated?

Is the age of majority 18 or 21 for New York State? I've seen conflicting information online. My daughter is 17, planning to attend college and wants to live with her 19 year old boyfriend. I am opposed to this and need to know my legal rights. Once she turns 18 are my hands tied?

My twenty year old son left home and has applied for social services. Am I responsible for his medical bills or any trouble that he might get in?

I want to pursue legal visitation of my Goddaughter. I've been part of nurturing , loving and rearing her since birth. We're extremely close.

My son is 18 years old and still in high school. He will be a senior in high school this fall. We live in the state of Minnesota. I have three questions... "When are parents no longer "legally" financially responsible for their children?" "Can an 18 year old, who is still in high school, leave home? If he does leave home, are the parents financially and parental responsible for him and his behaviors?" "When can a parent legally require a child to move out of the home?"
