Q: I'm 17 in less than a month, I was told that I'm legally able to move out in Oklahoma. Is this true? I need out
I need to move out before I'm 18 because I could do more for myself if I was able to be somewhere else. I don't have a job, and can't because I still have no Social Security card or CDIB and I had my aunt order my birth certificate bc if I ask my mom she'll forget and get mad when I keep asking. All I do everyday is sit at home she agreed to pay me to babysit my siblings and I have only gotten $120, and then $55. She made me miss my birth control appointment and never rescheduled again, hasn't called to check about my dentist appointment to see when it is or anything. My aunt told her I needed hangers (1st time she paid me) and I hadn't been wanting to talk about my relationship with her she said "since she wants to act grown she can go get them herself." Etc. That's just since I've been back living with her not throughout my life. I need out please help me. I've already tried asking to move out.
A: In Oklahoma, you become an adult at the age of eighteen and at that time a person can make their own decisions.
