Emancipation Rights in Ohio
so i looked up emancipation in ohio.. it says there is no information on it.. so is there no way to be emancipated other than the army, or marriage..
is pregnancy not a good enough reason for emancipation? I've seen other states show that as a reason for it.. but i can't find anything on ohio
I'm pregnant, and the only way for me and my boyfriend to care for our baby together is to live together (well its the easiest way, and best way) :!: can anyone help me with this?
at 17, can you move out without being emancipated legally, if there is parent consent? :?:
Re: Emancipation Rights in Ohio
i am 16 years old and have a 10 month old son we have been under so much stress for the last 3 months and today my mom said some things to me she should have NEVER said at all to begin with.
i have been looking into emancipation for 3 months and since she said those things i just feel so worthless, like my son doesnt deseve me and he could have better, i feel like i have absolutly no reason to be in this world anymore.
i think its mental abuse, but im not sure.
can someone please tell me what i can do i live in fremont ohio.
i look up emencipation for ohio and it says there is no emencipation laws but my boyfriends sister and friends have done it and they are only half an hour away from me.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME, IM AT MY BREAKING PIONT!
im thinking of running away with my baby if i cant find a way to do this.
i herd that you could put a restraining order on your perants but i dont want to do that i still love her and want her to be a part of my child's life, if i do that my son wouldnt be able to see her.
but she has driven me to almost doing it.
i need advise soon befor i just get up and leave it all behind.
Re: Emancipation Rights in Ohio
Some things to consider:
No, a court isn't going to issue a restraining order against your parents. If there is abuse to some level where you need to be separated from your parents, the court will decide where you go.
No court will even consider emancipating a 16 year old with a child. In any state, under any circumstance. Producing children that you cannot support tells the court that you need much MORE supervision, not less.
Even if you didn't have a child, emancipation is about showing a court that you can support yourself.
Could you run away? Sure. And police can drag you back. And, anyone found harboring you as a runaway can face criminal charges. And, when this happens a time or two, the odds that a court will allow you to continue to be the custodian of the child drops drastically - and the odds that the child will end up being given to your mother, other family member, or into the foster care system begin to sky rocket.
Part of the joy of becoming an adult (like becoming a parent) is that you have to learn a new set of skills and see things in the bigger picture - like what's best for your child. Since YOU have no independent way to shelter, feed, clothe, or provide medical care for yourself, much less this child, if you plan to KEEP this child, it's time to learn that in real life, there's being RIGHT, and there's being HAPPY. Figure out how to get along with the person who is supporting you and your child long enough to get through school, get a job, and get some substantial savings socked away so that you WILL be able to support yourself.
Re: Emancipation Rights in Ohio
Hi, I have a question I am 16 years old, and i turn 17 in March. I live in Ohio and I wondered if i need my mom consent to let me get emancipated. I want to move out because we have a lot of problems and she had alot of her own personal problems that i can't deal with and im doing really bad at the school im at and she seems not to care at all, so i plan on moving in with my brother and his dad, but she is not related to me. And i know if i move with him i will be in a better situation ill be in a better school, and get the things that i would need such as a car and a license. and my dad, is about just as bad as my mother and live in another state, and i would really hate to go live with him.
so anyways my point to this is, Can i get emancipated weather my mom likes it or not? and i live in the state of Ohio.
Re: Emancipation Rights in Ohio
In Ohio, there are only two ways a minor can be emancipated. One is by lawful marriage, and the other is by joining the active armed forces. For both, you need parental permission.
So no, you cannnot be emancipated if your mother does not agree.
BTW, few if any states will emancipate a minor over the objections of a parent.
