"State of Ohio
does not have an emancipation law. Minor or parent is unable to
file a legal action to have a minor emancipated or legally on their
own and under the age of 18. There are two temporary ways in which
a minor can be out of the custody of their parent. Either join any
branch of the Armed Forces or marriage. However, if the marriage is
dissolved or minor is discharged from the service and still under
the age of 18 the custody automatically reverts back to the parent
who originally had custody."

How old does a child have to be in Ohio to get emancipated？-Well, in Ohio, a child typically has to be at least 16 years old to pursue emancipation. But it's not just about the age, oh no! The child also has to show that they can handle all the responsibilities of being an adult, like having a stable income, a place to live, and being able to take care of themselves financially and emotionally. It's not an easy process, ya know? The courts will look at a bunch of factors before granting emancipation. So, it's not something a kid should take lightly.
