    Why Can't I Get Emancipated
    My question involves guardianship in the State of: Oklahoma

    I'm 16 years old and trying to find out how I can become emancipated in the state of Oklahoma.
    Last night my stepdad lost his temper and attacked me and I now have bruises up and down my arms from where he grabbed me , Then my boyfriend came over and tried to confront my stepdad , who then called the cops for trespassing and continued to yell at me even when the cops showed up . the cops took photo's of my arms where he bruised them and dug his nails in. I've been with my boyfriend now for 13 months and his mother has offered to take me in because I dont feel safe here any longer , I am often yelled at and bossed around by everyone including my 11 year old half-sister (step-dads daughter) and when I stand up for myself my stepdad yells at me and says to leave her alone . The main problem I am having is that my mother won't consent to the emancipation and my real father works almost 24/7 365 on a oil rig and travels a lot so he's not suitable to take care of me, I know that to get a emancipation in Oklahoma I need to be able to support myself by having a bank account (which I do) and a job, which I am currently looking for, and have a roof over my head and food in my stomach. I am trying to find a way to move in with my boyfriends mom and get a job over there in Dibble, Oklahoma (30 minutes from where I am currently living which is Moore, Oklahoma.) I am doing online school and passing all my classes with B's. I have a Drivers license. and my boyfriends mom said she would put me on her insurance so I can use her car for work and going up to the school to take my tests.

    Emancipation in OK doesn't mean what most people think it means.

    Even if emancipation meant the "usual" thing, no court in the land is going to emancipate you so you can live with your boyfriend.

    But Doggy!!! Then she can sleep with him every night and make illegitimate children for the state to support.

    And if you are living with someone else who is paying the mortgage and the utilities and putting you on her insurance (which, btw, she cannot legally do unless the court makes her your guardian) then you are not self-supporting, are you?
