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?
