Can You Get Emancipated if Your Boyfriend Will Help Support You
My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Oklahoma
I am 17 years old, I've had a job for about 8 months now. I make about 400 a month plus tips. With my tips I make about 900 a month. I am hardly ever at my house. There is no food there, my parents are high every other night on I don't even know what, and we only have 1 working car who no one is aloud to touch except my mother's boyfriend. Who works 12-9 Mon-Fri.
I find myself unable to get a license, a bank account, or able to go get myself my Social Security Card which I desperately need because "they don't feel like doing it". (I need a guardian/parent with me) Mind this, I've been needing these things since I was 15 1/2. I was lucky enough to land my job without them needing my SSC.
I half bills with my boyfriend every month. He pays 250 and I pay 250 a month, his insurance, his phone bill, my phone bill, and some stuff we've decided to rent together because we had the extra money. We have a roommate who's 60, however she's very nice. My boyfriend is 24 and we've been together since I was 16.
I am not graduated from school however I will be soon due to the fact I'm in a VoTech and I'm finishing my high school classes online. I've talked to my parents about emancipation and they just do not want it, however I have heard it is possible to do it without their permission as well.
With all of these different things, could I qualify (and hopefully get approved) for emancipation in the state of Oklahoma?
Re: The Process of Getting Emancipated or if I'm Even Eligible
First, you cannot use anothers income to count your independence. You would need to be in good standing in high school and earning about $2k per month legally, which as you do not have an SS number you are not doing. The first thing likely to happen is you are reported to the IRS.

What happened when social services investigated having "no food" in the house?

They asked how she could be starving while earning all that money.

How do you know that you do not have a SSN? You may have one and not know it. What your parents did after you were born may be lost after 17 years or they just don't want you to know.
Go to your local SS office with your birth certificate and ask.
Re: The Process of Getting Emancipated or if I'm Even Eligible
No. You couldn't. You aren't even in the same city as qualifying for emancipation, let alone the same ballpark.
What's more, in your state an emancipated minor has exactly one right that an unemancipated minor has not, and that is the right to sign a contract. It does not give you the right to move out of your parents' home without permission.

Alright, I wasn't very clear. I have a Social Security Number, I just don't have the card that shows the security number. I have my Social Security Number memorized. To take my birth certificate up to IRS, they need my parent/ guardian there to even think about giving me a copy. I'd know, I've tried.
DHS has not come to this house, however they do have abuse and child neglect on my mother's record already from about 4 years ago. I'm not seeking to move out of my parents house, I'm already practically out anyway. I just need the ability to legally sign forms so I could get my drivers license, social security card (not number), and other important pieces of documents.

And with the whole "they asked her how could she be starving while earning all that money" I am already practically moved out anyhow, and I do not buy groceries for that house. I buy food and groceries for where I stay at regularly.

Which does not change the fact that you do not qualify for emancipation and even if you did, it wouldn't accomplish what you want.

It's not the IRS you go to. It's the Social Security Administration that you go to. And I don't believe that you need a guardian to get a duplicate card if you prove who you are and that you have been paying taxes under that SSN.
