16 Year Old Wants to Move Out

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Ohio
I know that there are no laws for emancipation in my state. But I also know that I can legally live on my own if I am granted with parental consent.

My mom will not let me live on my own. She says there are too many legal ramifications, but she isn't able to provide me with one. I understand that if, for example, I were to throw a party at my apartment, and someone was to be injured, my parents could be held accountable.

But, aside from any situation where someone is hurt on my/their property, in what other situation are they, my parents, at risk to be held accountable?

I think I used too many commas.

This is all I need to read.

Your mother doesn't have to produce a host of reasons. Just "because I said so" is enough.

Of course I understand that, I would never try to make an argument against it. But what I'm trying to do is convince her to let me move out. All I'm asking for is a list of things that could go wrong (reasonably), or things she would be held accountable for.

You want a list of all the ways a 16 year old can get into trouble if left to live alone?

We don't have the time.

Your mother is completely and utterly responsible for anything you do to yourself and with or to others. Criminally, emotionally and financially.

Okay, okay. I didn't really need a list of all the ways. Just maybe a couple of common things.

I'll narrow it down. I pay my bills, go to school and work, and avoid traffic violations. If I did this while living on my own, what possibility is there with me running into difficulty with the law?

I know I can handle this. She does too. She just doesn't want to give up the reins.

Avoid traffic violations?

You have to, you have a suspended license.

Also, your mother doesn't HAVE to give up control of you.

Considering your posts about "how bad is it if I drive on a suspended license", I would be doubting your ability to "handle it" to.

Excuse me sir, let's keep this to legal advice. No more snippy comments about how irresponsible you think I am. Its not appreciated, nor is it credible.

You said you were avoiding traffic violations.

You also said you had a suspended license but were wondering what would happen if you drove anyway.

If you want to BS the board, you should, at least, sign on under another name.

Well, I was asking two separate questions that were not supposed to be related to one another. I didn't expect an investigation when I asked either of the questions, sir. You're looking too much into it. I ride my bike around right now anyways.

Ha, you're pretty sharp though. Keeping me on my toes.
