When's the soonest I can be emancipated?

Home More advice Parents & Family

I want to be emancipated from my family, including my parents, and move out as soon as possible. I want to do this when I'm 16 but in my area, as far as I know, you can only get a place to live when you're 18; so, I was wondering if I get a job, get emancipated and show home owners court papers would I be able to sign, get a place to live and support myself (with only getting necessities, nothing I want)? I have good reasons to be emancipated, so that's no problem, can I when I'm 16 or what? By the way, I live in Ohio so I don't know if there are different laws here on it.
