My father has turned my life upside down lately, throwing too many life changes at me to deal with. my father drastically changed his life. then him and my stepmother of 6 years are getting dvorce, my dad's girlfriend's daughter is constanly getting in trouble ad they do nothing about it.I have been messing up my own life as a result of all the stress I am under. I need out of my house, but I don't know how. My father is emotionall neglectful ad I know the law has nothing to help me with that but I need a way out of my house, but my dad won't let me leave. Please someone help me. I am 15 in my freshman year of high school and have many people who love me and would take me into their own homes if I can get out of the one I'm already in.I live in ohio
Until you are at the age of majority your dad has parental authority over you.

Ohio only addresses a minor becoming emancipated through a legal marriage and being active duty in a military service.

Try talking to a school guidance counselor about the troubles you are having.
