The age of majority in Ohio is 18. The state does not have grounds nor procedures for emancipation of minors, and state courts will not accept a petition pertaining to the issue. The state adheres to the strict enforcement of juvenile codes and laws pertaining to minors in general.

The state does not have established grounds or procedures for emancipation action.

It is recommended to seek legal advice and guidance when considering this process.

It is my understanding that Ohio does not allow a minor to petition for emancipation.

However, in Ohio, if the minor gets divorced or is discharged from the military before turning 18, custody reverts back to their parents.
