Emancipation laws differ from state to state, or even at a county basis. Only about half the states allow it to happen. And if you do, you have to show that you can support yourself and not be dependant on your parents or the state for your welfare. So you should have good grades, a good paying job, a safe place to live and the ability to cover emergencies such as health care and vehicles. Then a court may allow you to be emancipated. Yes, it does cost money to file the paper work. And the court will take the wishes of the parents into consideration.

Pregnant 19 still live with parents are they financially responsible?

Legally, no not at all. They are not financially responsible for you once you turn eighteen. Even if you are under the age of eighteen and decide to have a child it is up to you to provide for your child. They may still be financially "responsible" for you until you are 18 but the way the law sees it they do not have to provide for their grandchildren if you decide to have a child before becoming an adult. They are not financially responsible for anything anymore.

What is the process for parents to emancipate an eighteen year old in Missouri?

Parents don't emancipate their children. A court can emancipate them. Parents just kick them out when they turn 18. There isn't a process or form that has to be signed. So, what is the process to have the courts emancipate the eighteen year old, assuming the parents will (a) allow the eighteen year old to live at home, under rules of the home (b) the needs for the eighteen year old will be met and (c) the parents are seeking some legal protection from any acts of the eighteen year old.

Is there a way to get out of paying back child support if the kids are grown. The mom just put child support on me so it got back dated since the divorce?

This is possible, under certain limitations, on single parents, but in 20 years, I've never seen one done as it relates to a divorce. Usually, child support orders are established at the time of the divorce. If not paid, arrears can be collected, regardless of the age of the children.
