    Question What Can I Do In Missouri?

    Here is my situation: I want to be emancipated, but i am 17 years old today, I live in Missouri. i was taken by the state and put into foster care at an early age. then i was adopted at the age of 7 but my adopted parents gave me up a year ago. and i am living with my guardians (who my parents just handed me too even though i barley knew them for even a month). My parents had a paper notarized saying they gave custody to my guardians . I am graduating a year early, and planning to go to college. The problem is that my parents claimed me on their taxes because i am still legally their's(which confuses me alot); so i cannot apply for grants because they make too much money. I also get subsidy for being adopted which is like my rent to my guardians, and my health insurance. i have a place lined up to live when i am in college and i am currently looking for jobs.
    i don't do drugs or drink at all. I have no children. and i haven't been in any legal trouble. I am mainly focusing on school and i have no job at the moment. i have a place lined up to live when i am in college and i am currently looking for jobs. what can I do?

    Until you actually have a job, and one that is sufficient for you to pay rent, food, clothes, utilities, transportation, medical care, and all your other expenses, don't even bother trying. You're not going to be emancipated on the basis of, "I'm going to get a job". If you don't already have the job AND have held it long enough to show proof that you are capable of self-support, no judge will even consider emancipating you.
