    Question High School Graduation And Emancipation

    My daughter will graduate when she is 16. i signed the papers this year for her to graduate early. she thinks she becomes and adult upon graduation. Is this true? What will her rights be? Can she get married without my consent? Will I still be responsible for her although she is going off to college?
    Thank you

    Unless "legally" emancipated she is still under your authority

    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.
