Dear Researchers,
Declaration:
I do understand that I will not take the answer(s) posted to this
question as a proper legal advice and that I do understand that the
answer is brought to me only from the internet as the source. I also
understand that I must consult a lawyer or attorney.
Request:
I would like a very well presented set of data regarding the :
Process of requesting an emancipation of a 16 year old child in New
York, the specific state requirements that are needed, the full &
detailed procedure of doing so (meaning which forms to get or where to
apply at), and any additional information.
IMPORTANT: There are a few other details that I request further below,
read through the "Details" section. I am asking a very qualified
researcher, who would probably really understand how the process works
after reading through it on the Internet and perhaps give us a
reinforcement on how we should go through the emancipation.
Background:
The child is a 16 year old white US-born male in New York City, who is
currently under watch of ACS (Administration for Child Services) and
is placed under custody of a foster family/parent because of a
prolonged neglect and abuse from the birth parents. The ACS currently
does not offer any assistance in that matter, totally disqualifying
the child?s rights and completely ignoring the requests (how wrong of
them to do so.) The foster parents will agree to grant permission, as
long as the requirements are met. The birth parents will not
participate at all and altogether wish the worst for the child. The 16
year old hopes to be emancipated from his parents to escape all the
abuse, and wishes to inquire whether he qualifies for the New York
State emancipation procedure.
Details:
The information I need is barely outlined in the following few notes,
please if you can, understand the situation and attempt to provide a
good advice on what steps should be taken. Remember, this is a
specific state emancipaton, and that certain topics should be
researched on top of the regular process :
- What is emancipation? What law gives the child the right to be
emancipated? Why do certain children apply for emancipation? What is
the success rate in the country of receiving emancipation over
rejection? How long is the average case take ? What rights does the
child obtain after being emancipated? What are the pro?s and con?s
altogether ? Can a link be provided to a state government/legal
website resources where a very detailed information can be
obtained/read from?
- What are the state requirements? How old does the child have to be?
What sort of income must the child have? What sort of job can he hold,
and must it be on books (example: cashier) or can it be a different
sort of a job (example: babysitter)? Can there be a non fiancial
supporter (non-binded by marriage) who will shelter the child (provide
the housing), will that make any difference? Is the child required to
attend school, must he receive a diploma by certain age, attend GED
classes or none at all?
- What is the filing procedure? Step by step if possible, please. I
would very much appreciate it if one provides a very thorough guide on
what documents and papers should be obtained, who?s permission and in
what format should be gathered, where the application form or office
is, and details like that.
- SPECIFIC: The child?s birth parents do not wish to sign for the
child?s emancipation, but pose a very serious physical, mental and
emotional threat to the youngster. If the child is currently under the
custody of a foster parent (placed there by ACS) can the emancipation
be signed by the foster parent? Can a judge accept a certain case
details of which will convince him/her to accept the emancipation,
what are the details of those?
- Please, if possible, be New York State specific, some other states
may have different requirements/rules/procedures/etc. Otherwise if the
general procedure is the same in every state, please state so.
- Please include links to the site(s)
Final Words:
I will grant bonuses of $20-50 to the researcher if the detail and
quality of the report is outstanding. To show what sort of a report
gets a higher tip based on the detail and quality, read the examples
below :
?the child must have a job? ($0.00 tip)
?the child (being 14+ year old) must have a legal job on the books? ($10.00+ tip)
?the 14+ year old child must hold a legal job for atleast 2 months
prior the filing which is on the books and considered to be permanent?
($20.00+ tip)
?the legal working age child (14 and above years old) is required to
hold a permanent, legal & on-books part-time or full-time job with an
income of $450.00 a week for atleast 2 months prior the filing for
emancipation? ($35.00+ tip)
?the legal working age child (14 and above in NYS) is required to hold
a legal, permanent considered, full-time (if the child does not attend
school) or part-time (if the child does take classes or attends
school) for at least 8-12 weeks with a minimum income of $350.00 a
week if the shelter is provided, $400.00 if there is state support of
some kind, and a maximum of $550.00 a week? ($50.00+ tip)
Please take your time, and do not rush yourself. You may take as long
as you wish to fully research and answer this question. Please do not
hesitate to post a question clarification and as many of them as you
wish. If you were researching this question and obtained a whole
amount of information, or you can provide real professional or
life-experience advice, and for some reason another researcher got to
answer this, please leave a note or contact me through email and I
will post another question specific to the information you can provide
and you will get paid.
Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to answer this
question. Remember, you are doing God?s work in helping, and the
child, myself and the heavens all thank you. |
