In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

Ohio has laws that allow the a parent to file a Termination of Parental Rights petition. Whether that petition is granted and to what extent is decided by the court based on the individual case circumstances. The voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is generally granted to allow a child/children to be a candidate for adoption. The court will not grant a TPR when its sole purpose is for a parent to escape financial obligations to their minor children.

In Ohio, a 17-year-old typically cannot legally move out without parental consent unless they have been legally emancipated by a court. Emancipation is a legal process that grants the minor the rights of an adult, including the ability to live independently. It is advisable to seek legal guidance to understand the specific requirements and process for emancipation in Ohio.
Rights or custody? A parent can always petition the court for termination of their parental rights and such a petition may or may not be granted depending on the circumstances. However such a termination does not end child support obligations. You may also petition the court to transfer custody or assign guardianship of a child to another individual. Whether or not this would be granted is up to the court hearing the case, whether or not there are any biological relatives willing to assume custody/guardianship and whether or not the person you choose would act in the best interests of the child (in the court's opinion).
You have to be 18.
