How do I get access to my own money?

I have had a job now for the past year. My job has a direct deposit so it’s all being put in an account automatically. The thing is, my dad has access to this account and I don’t. He isn’t spending any of the money but he won’t give me access at all. I’m 18 now and I haven’t applied to colleges because I don’t have access. I need that account. He says he’ll give me a set amount a week but I want full access now.
I am thinking of getting an ID (which he is letting me) and opening a new one and just switching the account through my work but I think that’ll cause so many issues I don’t want.
I need access to that account for many reasons and he refuses every time I ask and I feel it isn’t right to withhold my money from me now that I am an adult. (He always tells me I’m not one until I graduate but in Wisconsin you are an adult when you turn 18 or graduate)

Talking isn’t working, my mom won’t help (she can’t) Is there any action I can take or do to get my money?
