The 18 year old was provoking him. My boyfriend, who again is 17, received a letter in the mail saying he had to go to court. What will happen? Will he have to serve time in jail, or a detention center?

Yes, they can. The juvenile court will not lose jurisdiction over your case when you turn 18.

No, Ohio does not allow emancipation in that circumstance. See this link.

Parents kick them out?? What is the Ohio law? Repercussions for the parents??

If there is no court-ordered parenting agreement from a divorce or custody proceeding, and the child is not special needs, then parental obligations typically cease at age 18. The child could be considered a month-to-month tenant, requiring a proper eviction action. A month to month tenancy can... View More

Probably. The court could determine that you were acting very irresponsibly, and at such a young age, you need more maturity before being allowed to drive again, where you could kill yourself or others. Driving is a privilege, not a right. The court can take it away.

In Ohio, yes, a juvenile GSI charge can be sealed and later expunged. But that's only Ohio law, the state in which you've asked. The site seems to think your location is MI.

It really depends on the circumstances, the charges, whether the juvenile is competent, his or her age, etc. A hearing on whether or not to hold the juvenile is required to happen fast, but the adjudicatory hearing may be a long way off.

If the stepfather does not have legal custody, then he could be arrested if he does not give the children to the person who has custody. Stepfather can file for custody or can file for guardianship, and the court will decide what is in the best interest of the children. Stepfather should retain a... View More

The mother is responsible for her daughter. If she told her to come home, then she should. If there are problems at her home, you could call children's services.

The court will say that you are irresponsible, and by going that fast, are too young to handle the responsibility of driving, will likely suspend your license, and perhaps put you on probation. Unless you have had NASCAR training, you don't have the experience or ability to handle a car at... View More

If you've been told nothing can be done until she is 12, then it is unlikely the court system will do anything.

Yes, you could be returned home. Or you could go to juvenile detention as a runaway.
answered on May 30, 2018
No. They could report her as a runaway, and you could face charges for contributing to her delinquency.
