Ohio does not permit it. They are her parents, and they make the decisions if CPS won't get involved. See this link for more information:

The money from my mom when she died my grandad is over the money but no one wants to help me get a car but I can take care of a car I just need one
answered on Feb 11, 2018
Likely, a guardianship over the monies was established some time back, and the guardian will need to petition the court for funds to purchase your car.

The detention facility can hold a juvenile for 24 hours without a court order. With a court order, they can hold the juvenile until they are 21 or they become in compliance with the order. It sounds as though their are conditions already attached to his release, so I assume a court order is in... View More

He can file a Request for Order (FL-300) in the court showing a change in circumstances and requesting a modification of custody.

That depends on what your previous record is like, how you are doing in school, what your home life is like, etc. You should have an attorney represent you. If you can't afford one, ask for one to be appointed for you.
He is getting out of hand. Skipping school , coming home at whatever time he chooses and kicking down my bedroom door. What rights do I have as a step dad that's been here 5 years and his mom needs help. Any suggestions? Please help before things get worse.
answered on Feb 8, 2018
You might have to call the police, and he might have to spend some time in juvenile detention. No easy answer. What about his father? Is he involved? Talk to a school counselor for some suggestions. Best wishes.
CSB wont help and father who is my husband has full custody. She did this before and needs residential treatment
Should I try to emanipate the child is not in school and works full time wont be 19 until 2019 can I get this emancipated and be over with it or will I still have to pay child support even through the child isnt in school and works full time she dropped out of school in 2016
answered on Feb 8, 2018
You do not need to wait until the child is 19. There are many factors the court will consider when emancipating a child, including whether the child is pursuing an education and their ability to be self-supportive. I would need more details from you than are here. You should consult with an... View More

Who is "they"? If you received a citation from anyone that directs you to contact the court or show up for court, then you need to pay attention to that.
answered on Feb 7, 2018
It depends on what the citation is for, what the history of the juvenile is, etc. The best chance of it "blowing over" is to hire an attorney to represent the youth.

You can file your own unruly petition at juvenile court. Officers are often reluctant to get involved. If you do, however, you should know what you are getting yourself into. The juvenile court and DCS will be sticking their nose way into your life. They may also be able to help your child get... View More

Depends what you mean by 'grabbed'. If you mean grabbed in its normal definition, then a teacher would normally and very rightfully do that usually due to one of two things 1) because the child is misbehaving and / or 2) to prevent the child from getting hurt. In either of those cases... View More

You need TO FILE IN VA and talk to an attorney there about it. You can't file in GA until you have lived here for at least 6 months.

No. The relevant language from the Emancipation of Minors Act appears in section 2: "No order of complete or partial emancipation may be entered under this Act if there is any objection by the minor, his parents or guardian."
answered on Feb 6, 2018
Talk to a local attorney. Attorney's are not familiar with forms because we draft our own pleadings. Talk to someone about representing you in an appeal, as this is a serious matter and can have far reaching consequences if you are placed on the registry.
How can I keep her from going into state custody. Do I have a rehab setup prior to going to court? What do I do?
answered on Feb 5, 2018
You should get your child an attorney. The attorney will maximize the chances that your child will not go into custody.
Gone in 4 days can they just write a letter and ask me to move on such short notice i only need 5 days to move im from out of state with a child i want to go just need a lil time
answered on Feb 5, 2018
It totally depends upon the governing documents of the community, so there is no way to say for sure. You might try to communicate with them to see if they can give you a few days extension.
Good luck and hope this helps.
I am 16, I have a Job, my mother is deceased, my father is incarcerated. I do not live with my legal guardian. My guardian agreed to let me get Emancipated. I have the money to petition and file for it.

That's the law. Ask you local state representative or state senator.

Generally, emancipation is the legal path that gives you the ability to do what you intend. It does require parental consent with some exceptions. There are a few alternatives, such as specific emancipation and guardianship. Alaska Youth Advocates has a handbook that goes through all the... View More
