    Default Ohio Emancipation Laws

    My son has a 15 yr old friend who claims he was emancipated from his Mom.My understanding of the situation is that now he has been kicked out of where he was living. He seems like a nice kid but I'm not sure of the laws of Emancipation. Can you give me some informatiom please? I live in Sylvania, Ohio.

    Thank You

    Default Ohio Emancipation Law

    Ohio has no emancipation law. Neither a minor (< 18) nor the minor's parent is able to file a petition for emancipation.

    A minor can achieve independence from a parent in two ways:

    1. Lawful marriage; or

    2. Successful enlistment in any branch of the Armed Forces.

    However, in the event of divorce or annulment, or discharge from the Armed Forces before the age of 18, custody of the minor will automatically revert to the parent who previously had custody over the minor.
