In Ohio if there is a court order granting custody of her to someone, then that court order will end in a month when she turns 18 unless there is some special condition that makes her dependent upon others like diminished mental capacity, etc.

You or she could file something with the court to alter the custodial arrangement, but I doubt that the matter would come up for a hearing before she turned 18 when all of it would be moot anyway since she would be legally an adult.
