Emancipation Laws in Missouri

i am looking at getting emancipated but idk what the laws are for it in missouri and everything i look at tells me different stuff every time :wallbang: what are the laws/requirements of getting emancipation

What makes you think you qualify for emancipation? Are you 16? Are you living apart from your parents NOW and managing your own affairs and supporting yourself? Are you married? Are you in the armed forces?

Read the stickied threads.

i am tired of raizing myself while others are holding me down so i am wanting to get emencipated so that way i can raise myself with out being held down and i plan on joing the armed forces as soon as i take my asvap test

Please answer the questions.

We can't answer questions if you don't answer questions. "Wanting to raise yourself" is not sufficient to get emancipated. Emancipation, despite what you think of the word from your eighth grade social studies class isn't a way to escape parental enslavement. It is a recognition of an already independent teen that needs relief from certain disabilities (like being able to enter into contract).

You MUST be 16 in Missouri.
The only way you can get emancipated in Missouri is:
1. You are already independent. You will need to show proof of sufficient income and evidence you are managing your own affairs.
-or-
2. You are ALREADY in the military. The rub here is that the military won't take on you unless you are 17 and even then you will need to have parental consent.
-or-
3. You are married. Again, you'll need parental consent to do that if you're not 18.

So you see, every on of the questions I asked you is 100% relevant. You haven't bothered to answer, so you're intentionally wasting our time.

Planning to enter the military means squat to emancipation. Let me give you a reality check on getting into the military. Again, you need to be 17 and you need parental consent before 18. Further, you need a high school diploma (or GED). Do you have one?

For one it's the ASVAB test - so I feel you may not be qualified for the military if you can't even get the name of the test right.

You can't enlist until 17 and you need parental permission. You have to have a diploma or GED.

You're tired of people "holding you down" and you want to "raise yourself?" What the hell do you think is going to happen if you join the military? You do realize that you have someone telling you what to do 24/7 for at least 6-10 weeks (depending the branch you join and their basic training), then your follow on training for your job. Then you get to your first unit and you get a little more freedom but you still have someone telling you what to do. You have to be in the right place at the right time in the right uniform.
