Q: In the state of Ohio can your friends parents kick your friend out when 18 and still in high school(current junior)?
A: Tricky question. Technically a parent has an obligation to parent a child until they emancipate. That usually happens when the child is both 18 AND a high school graduate. This may be further complicated if a parent is receiving child support on behalf of that child. This question does not contain enough facts to give a more complete answer. Is this a matter of both parents asking their 18 year old child to leave? Why is this occurring? My recommendation would be to have this student reach out to the counseling resources at the high school.
