Q: I'm 16 years old, going to be 17 next month and I'm tryin to get emacupated for some situations at home.
I'm able to care for myself. I'm able to graduate by December and I have a job and I'll have a car by then. But my mom wouldn't give consent. How can I get emacupated without her concent if I can care for myself and I'll have somewhere to stay
A:
And Ohio does not have emancipation in your situation. Check this link for more information:

When you are 18, then you are an adult and can make your own decisions. If there are problems at home, talk to a family member, teacher, or other trusted adult.
