Q: Can I kick him my 16 year old out?

A: Under the Ohio Revised Code a minor child cannot simply apply to a court for emancipation. Generally, a parent must support a minor child until age 18, or beyond age 18 if the child attends high school on a full-time basis, is incapable of being self-supporting due to disability or if parents agree to support beyond age 18 in a Divorce agreement. A minor child can get married, enlist in the military, or have other legal actions performed which render them with the legal status of being emancipated. Other special circumstances can occur when a minor children is self supporting and the parents agree for the minor to be emancipated on some aspects of their life. Any court orders concerning a minor child is subject to court oversight until they reach age 18. In Ohio, parents are responsible for their minor children and the actions of their minor children until they reach age 18. Under Ohio Revised Code 2151.022 any child who does not submit to the reasonable control of the child's parents, teachers, guardian, or custodian, by reason of being wayward or habitually disobedient is an unruly child. Any child who is truant from school or behaves in a manner as to injure or endanger the child's own health or morals or the health or morals of others is also unruly. When parents have concerns about their minor children they can report their minor children to the local authorities as unruly.
