No. Sorry, but the child support laws allow the petitioner to file in whatever state you live - so since you live here, you are subject to the state laws. If your child is emancipated under New York law, then you can file to stop paying. Good luck.

If your child meets the test for emancipation you can attempt to get a declaration from your local court.
