Legal Question in Family Law in California

I'm a 17 year-old who's been thinking about emancipation for a long while and have now decided to go through with it. I originally live in California but have been staying with an aunt for three weeks now in Oklahoma and am planning to stay for the rest of the summer for a job, I'm going to go back to California when the summer ends and finish my last year of high school. I've been living out of the home for four months now and am doing more than fine. I have a job and am very responsible. I want to know if I can get emancipated by the courts of California while still in Oklahoma.
