    Default Emancipation In Missouri

    My names dylan, i live in salisbury missouri. I was forced to move down here when my parents died. I Used to live in altoona WI, and desperatly want to move back, but i dont want to be depending on a friends family, so ill have to be on my own. Im 16 years old, and i have a plan all layed out about how i can support myself, and finish school. Is emancipation what i need to be looking at? From how i understand it, emancipation is being your own gardian, is that correct? What will i have to do to become an emancipated minor? Im currently reciving $840 a month from social security, will they continue to pay me that? Please, i need help fast
    Thank you for your help,
    Dylan

    Missouri has no statute for emancipation. It seems the already very difficult process will be even more so with no statute. The social security you get who is the payee?

    Then its not your income. If you are not the payee you cannot claim its your income as of yet. Getting emancipated in a state with no statute is not going to be easy and from what I have seen less than 1% are granted as a whole. You might look into change of guardianship providing your current guardian does not object

    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.
    You can also see if your biological father will petition for a modification of custody.
