What are the Emancipation Laws in Ohio

i live in Ohio. i'm sixteen and will be seventeen in about five months. i'd like to know what conditions i would need to be emancipated.
-my mother and i have got along pretty well in the past year. but last summer she dranked, ect. and we got in numerous fights, including the cops getting involved once. i only lived with her for the past three years of my life. the first six i lived with my grandmother, her mother. then i lived with my dad from the time i was six till thirteen. during the time i lived with my grandmother i had been molested and had problems ever since. i might not even be able to have kids from this. with my dad he cut me off from my mothers side of the family COMPLETLY! i was not aloud to talk or see any of them. i wasn't even aloud to go to my grandpas funeral. he didn't even let me know he died until i saw it in the newspaper. almost imeditaly after i had moved in with him he beat my step mother numerous times infront of me, my half brother and my step mother's son and daughter. my dad has always been a very heavy drinker. he also got into coke really bad the last year i had lived in with him. he then began beating me and my step brother. not only was it physical abuse but also emotional. we were suppose to move to georgia and we ended up going to north carolina and i was not aloud to let anyone know where i was. about two months later my mother and step father located me and my father got charged with kidnapping. once i moved into my mothers it was great untill last summer which i've already said what was mainly going on. she kicked me out for two weeks also and emotionaly abused me telling me she wishes i was never born and how horrible i was. but we got into counciling and it got better. but the past week we got into a fight and i went to DH. they DID NOT take my statement or the witnesses statement. only my mothers. they sayd it could only get counted as abuse if there was marks. which coincidently when i got the the DHC the women working found several bruises and scratch marks on me. she had hit me twice in the neck using her nails and so i DID hit her back, twice in the forhead. then she grabbed my hair and began hitting me several times in the back of the head. they sheriff said since it was her scene she could dismiss my factors and only take my mothers. the next day i returned home and it was okay. but the next morning we got back into it. so we went to see a anger managment consiler and then imediatly after words we got into it again. now i am staying the night at my grandmothers. my mother agrees i should be emancipated and she was going to have me get a lawyer and everything. but i'm not sure how my father would react to it. i have not had ANY contact with him in over a year, he made it clear i was not to see or contact him or my sibilings.
From what i have found the only legal way to be emancipated in the state of Ohio is marraige or something to do with the army. If anyone has ANY information please let me know. gratelyy appreciated!!:confused:

Ohio has a provision for Judical emancipation, according to one source.

If you are really set on finding out, pay a visit to a law library of the law school of a college/university and ask where you can locate the Appeals courts case law volumes:

Powell v. Powell, 111 Ohio App. 3d 418


Volume 111 of the 3rd edition, page 418.


Bear in mind, don't count on any easy route, as I suspect it outlines criteria you can not probably meet, such as self sustainment through a substantial income, etc.

If it allows for such Petition to be filed, it also does not mean it will be granted, even if you CAN support yourself.

I researched this for another poster not too long ago.

Ohio will emancipate a minor under two conditions and two conditions only - one, if you are legally married and two, if you are a member of the active armed forces.

Both of which take parental consent.

That's all.
