You do not qualify for emancipation - period.

Please read the other threads here about emancipation.

he is no father figure but yet expects me to listen to his rules i only see him once every 2 weeks i dont even live with him. the emotional and mental stress is ridiculous. theres got to be something to do i cant take orders from someone whos never around? theres got to be something i cand do

Your mother can file for custody.

If you're staying with your grandmother, she can also file for custody (Ohio does allow for third party custody in certain circumstances). However I suspect that if she filed anything, Dad would simply take you to where he's living.

And yes, you do what he says. You're the child, he's the parent.

would my dad have to sign over custody?

She could file herself. She will need an attorney, and she should expect a long and expensive battle.

If Dad objects, she'll have to prove that he's unfit.

hell simply change untill its all over and hes won then go bck thts what he did in the divorc

Sweety, this really isn't your legal problem.

You've got to get either Dad or grandma to sign up here so we can try to help them.

they wont nobody in my family will help me. i also have a kid ont the way and would like to move in with my grilfriend who is turning 18 soon and gettin her own place

Yeah, that's not going to happen unless Dad agrees.

You've basically proven that you need more - not less - adult supervision.
