Q: 17 year old emncipation in ohio
As you can assume from the question, I'm a 17 year old who resides in Ohio..My father has crap priorities. Continuing to rely on him to get my life started is going to do nothing but hinder me. I've been trying for a year now to (first) get my ID and (second) get my driving permit. He won't take me driving, and he won't take me to et an ID. I'm a senior in highschool, with a job. What are my options for getting out on my own so I can properly start my life?
A:
Does your father provide health insurance for you? Talk to a teacher, school counselor, or other trusted adult about this. But Ohio does not allow emancipation in your situation. If you move out before you are 18, father could have you apprehended. Here is a link with information:
