My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Ohio
My question pertains more to my girlfriend than to me, I’ll add details to get an accurate answer but I don’t know what is and isn’t relevant in deals like these. The basic plot here is that I am 18, my girlfriend turns 18 in less than 3 months, we’ve been together for almost a year now, we both have jobs, make decent money for our area, and are not in highschool, (she is finishing up an online schooling but is nearly done with it) and have been accepted into college.
Our main problem at this point is her family, they don’t want her to leave. They don’t like the idea of her moving out, going to college, anything like that. They’re extremely old fashioned, not to mention none of them attempted to go to college themselves, they see it as a waste of time and want her to get a factory job. This becomes a problem when they interfere with her trying to get things done, doing small little sabotages here and there like throwing away college letters or trying to get her in legal trouble claiming she’s “a deliquent” a few months back, even calling the police to try and scare the idea out of her head. The cops made a bunch of threats with the idea that she was the normal teenage delinquent threatening to run away from home, and not understanding the full scenario in play here.
The main influencers here are her elderly grandmother who is also her guardian and her uncle. That’s the basics of the scenario here, now out problem is we want to just move out now. College is getting closer and they’re getting harder and harder on her, throwing fits and screaming at her, just making her life much harder than it has to be, so we want to move out as soon as we can, but as I mentioned we still have 3 months before she turns 18. We have the option to both live with her biological mother, who lost custody of her at a young age but now has a home and is willing to help us, but as far as I know she has little to no legal power due to her not having custody.
My biggest question is, if we just left within the next few weeks, would the police or any court even bother with any report filed by her family since she’s so close to being a legal adult? This thread isn’t about running away for love or any teenage angst scenario like many I’ve seen on here, it’s just the daily stress and constant fighting in her house is effecting her a lot recently and she doesn’t want to go through it any longer than she has to. 3 months isn’t that long, but to go through screaming matches every day for 3 months makes it seem like an eternity. Also could her mother or even myself get into any trouble for being the ones “taking her away” from them?
I won’t try and pretend to be a legal expert, I advised her from doing anything drastic yet but she’s been anxious to get out of there for a while now and thinks since she’ll be with her mom that she won’t be in as much legal trouble. Any words of advice?
