My question involves civil rights in the State of: Ohio
I am 17 years of age. I have a job getting 20+ hours a week on minimum wage. My boyfriend's family has offered to let me move in with them, due to my parents deciding that they hate me. They turned my phone off, took my car off of insurance, and have disowned me. However, I am still living with them. I graduated May 21 of the year and was wondering if I was able to just up and move out. I know regardless of hating me, they like control over me and won't let me leave willingly. So my question is..am I considered emancipated?
Your parents cannot "disown" you. You aren't their property. Obviously you guys had some sort of falling out but I highly doubt that they hate you.

If you leave you could be brought back - and your boyfriend's family COULD get in trouble for harboring you.

You are not emancipated until a judge orders it or you are the legal age. If you don't have long until you're 18 you have to suck it up. You and your parents might work things out. But they can control what you do and with who until you're legally an adult.

And life can be an even bigger bear if you live with your parents, depending on what kind of parents you've got.



Hard to say, I would have to hear all sides of the story.



That would depend on

A. If they're physically able to drag her back.

B. If they can find her in the first place.
If they can't "physically drag her" then they can have the police called to get her. She just said she's going to live with her boyfriend's family if she could - so I'm sure they can find her.
