You are not automatically emancipated in Oklahoma when you have a baby and you are under the age of 18. You are still in the custody and control of your parents. If you want to become emancipated you have to file a motion with the district court in the county where you reside. You have to be able to prove that you can financially support yourself for the court to approve the motion. All emancipation does is allow you the legal right to enter into legally binding contracts, such as signing an apartment lease.
