    Missouri Emancipation Forms
    According to the ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri,

    Quote:

    Quoting Missouri Emancipation Law
    In Missouri, a minor may be emancipated in one of three ways:
    1) your parents may give express consent to a court that they are waiving their parental rights;

    2) your parents may give implied consent, which would apply in situations where you have been living on your own, supporting yourself, and for all practical purposes your parents have relinquished their parental rights; and

    3) you experience a significant change in your societal status-such as an enlistment in the military or marriage.
    As in Kansas, emancipation requires the ruling of a judge.


    If there are no standard forms available, look into getting a copy of a resolved emancipation case from the court, and use the pleadings it contains as a model.

    OK this is my delema. I have always been under the impretion that while living in Missouri you are automaticly emancipated on your 17th birthday. Just meaning that you can move out of your parents home with out their concent. Yet they are still legaly responcible for you. Well my question is this. A friend of mine's mom is moving out of state. My friend does not want to leave. She will be turning 17 in 46 days. We have a plan to get her back in the state. Yet we are not sure if it will work. ok now here is my question. Since my friend and her mother are still legal residence of missouri and will be of the time of my friends birthday, if my friend is in the state of missouri of the time of her birthday is she still pertected under the missouri emancipation law?

    A desire not to move with your parents does not affect the manner in which a court will interpret and apply state emancipation laws. The age of majority is 18.
