My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Missouri
I live in Missouri, I am 16 and also in the 12th grade(current GPA of 3.7), Graduating this year in July and attending college in the fall. I wanted to know if parents(specifically my Mother in my case) does not give you permission to go to work could you run away legally to go to work?
My Situation:
It sounds strange I know but, my situation is strange. I'm convinced that my step father has a secret vendetta/rivalry against my Biological Father(he passed away last year around October), and now my step father is trying to control me indirectly through my Mother and is also trying to oppress my Mother, he threatens my Mom with divorce or kicking her out if she makes a decision for me that he does not agree with. He has made my mom cry several times and has told her to beat me because I would not say "Yes sir or I refused to speak to/with him"
My Mother let me move away(so I could live with my Sister) sometime around last month, but my stepfather was upset and threatened my Mother with divorce/kicking her out so she would have to come and get me. My Mom called the cops twice on my Sister because my step father was not happy. The first officer arrived and we explained the situation, the officer told my Mom and step father that my Sister did not answer the door. Then the second officer arrived around 11:00 PM with my Mother trailing behind,(my Mother does not drive at night, I assume that my step father threatened my Mother to come and get me. Also my mother could not have been trailing an officer all that time because this was a County Officer and my Mother and stepfather lives within the city region.)
Later that night, I was taken back to my step father's house and was yelled at, called names by my step father and hit by my Mom.
I now have a job and I also receive SS survivors benefits(because of my Father) which totals to about 775$ a month, how soon could I be emancipated if I tried to seek emancipation?
