    Default Florida and Ohio - Emancipation Law

    In Florida, your parent or legal guardian must submit the petition for emancipation. In Ohio, you can only become emancipated through lawful marriage, or through enlistment in the Armed Forces - and if your marriage or service end before your 18th birthday, you are again subject to the custody of your parents.

    Particularly given that there is a younger sibling involved, you may have to resort to child protective services.
