Emancipation

Hi, I seem to keep forgetting my password. So I'm going to ask this question once again.

I live in ohio, I'm 15 years old with a two month old son, I am with Evans dad, and I want to be emancipated. Me and Josh both have jobs and he's currently getting...

his g.e.d. I'm still in high school. I live with my mom but I'm not happy with the environment, it's very dirty and I don't want my son growing up around that, me and josh want to start our lives together, as a family.

What can I do to become emancipated and what are my chances of it being granted, I know there are no emancipation laws in ohio but I know people who have become emancipated. Please respond, thank you

To be emancipated, you must either:
1. Be living APART from your parents and managing your own money
2. Be in the armed forces
3. Be married
4. The court must decide that an emancipation is in the best interests of you or your parents

The process of emancipation:

Either you or your parents can start the emancipation process. The person who starts the process files, or has a lawyer file, an 'emancipation petition' with the court. If you need a lawyer to start this process or to defend yourself and you cannot afford one, the juvenile court may appoint one for you at no charge.

There will be a meeting (or hearing) in front of a judge to talk about the emancipation petition. Only the judge can order the emancipation.

okay thanks a lot
