I would think that your father would know the terms of the custody. But maybe not since it has been so long. If he is amenable to having you live with him he should go speak to a lawyer..... it won't cost much to have one look into it. He can pull up any copies of custody agreements.



Now if it is your social security # you want. I assume you have ID. You can go to DMV and ask them what your social security # is. You can go to a social security office. Now that I think of it your school records should have it in them. Do you have a regular doctor or on someones health insurance? They would have the number..



You can order your birth certificate online pretty cheap. If you were born locally the courthouse probably has a copy.



You first said you were 17 and then 16. If it is 17 you might want to sit tight because if there is any legal wrangling by the time any of this is resolved you would probably have already turned 18. At which point you can just pack up and leave.



But you will still need to have your social and birth certificate for later. So work on that and in the meantime your Dad should do a consult with a lawyer.
