First she will have to be able to suport her self from what I'm reading and then she will most likely have to petition for the emansipation. If her parents are going to fight this it might be hard. I can't find the specific things you are asking for but here is one site
Emancipation of Minors - All US States (http://usmarriagelaws.com/search/united_states/emancipation_of_minors/index.shtml)
Also how old are you cause if you aren't careful her parents could file suit on you if you are 18 even though she is 17.

By the time she can put the request for emancipation through the courts she will be 18. So I wouldn't bother.
