I have been working on changing the law for the age of emancipation for approximately 6 years and for various reasons that I have previously explained, I am no further ahead than I was when I began. How unfortunate that I cannot get a law changed that will help children of the state especially since it would not effect the state budget in any way. This is solely the responsibilty of the parents.
The number of children this would benefit is a select group of those from divorced homes. I know that are many non-residential parents who still remain active in their children's life even after they turn eighteen; this is to protect the children whose parent makes the choice to focus on their needs and not the continuing needs of the child.
I have decided, that since my voice alone is not being heard, I would try and recruit additional help. I have written to the Domestic Relations Court Judges, associations for women (since most women are the residential parent and in need of financial assistance), and community members who appear to be interested in children and their welfare.
Once again, I ask that if you are interested in joining the journey, without having to do anything but let me know you agree, contact me at ohioschildren@gmail.com.
Thank you!
