My question involves guardianship in the State of: ohio
I am a sixteen, almost seventeen year old female in the state of Ohio. I live solely with my father, and see my mother twice a month. I go to a career center, a vocational high school that is. I am a junior, and I am perfectly on level as I should be in my educational career.
My dillema is this: I live in a city that is an hour (estimate, not exact) away from my school. I drive myself, and my two stepsiblings and one sibling to school every morning. I then bring them home after school is dismissed. This round trip burns about $10-$15 dollars worth of fuel a day.
As far as my family situation, I am under my father's custody, and live with him, my stepmother, her two children, and every other week, mysister. (She alternates weeks between him and my mother. My background with my father is a jumbled mess, but the main problems were his physical and verbal abuse. He rarely lays a hand on me now, he hasn't in years, he reels back but doesn't hit me any longer. Though we still have verbal spouts, which have been slowly degrading me into a state of depreession. He blames me for the problems that we have, and that I cause every household I'm in to be chaotic and hellish. I am looking into a psychological evaluation, as I have been increasingly suicidal, and I am genuinely concerned for my mental health.
I just need to know the details as far as requirements and eligibility and procceses for emancipation. I realize that I would have to be financially independent, which I am in the process of. I am able to have a living arrangement in which I would be living with others, but not dependent on them. I am not attempting to run away from my situation, or get out of anything. I only want to continue my life on my own, and no longer cause my family the grief that my father says that I am responsible for. I am open to all information, and I ensure you, I am not trying to run away from high school, or my father. I just need to get myself into a more secure, safe (mental/physical sense) environment.
As far as my background, I have never been arrested, expelled, or flunked. I am in a law enforcement course at my vocational center, and I have a withstanding employer. I have held a high GPA my whole life, and I have never had any extreme disciplinary actions taken upon me (juvenile detention, probation, or otherwise).
Any information is good, useful information. Even if it is telling me that this is not an option.
All information I have so far: what I have aforementioned, and the idea that I can file on grounds of moral repugnancy. (I am unsure as to what that pertains to, I would appreciate to know more. Thank you very much.
