In Ohio, the age of majority, or the age at which a person is legally considered an adult, is 18 years old. This means that at 18, individuals gain control over their own actions and affairs and are generally held responsible for their decisions. You're 17 now. Why don't you just wait until you're 18 and at that point you're an adult and can be automatically emancipated.
