If you live in Missouri and are wanting to move out at age 17 does this mean you have to get an emancipation or is 17 the legal age to move out without getting emancipated?

i think you need to be 18 to legally move out and i think at the age 16 you can get an emansapation and move out
in Missouri you can move out at 17, but you parents are still legally and medically responcible for you, meaning if you get arrested they have to come bail you out and pay court costs, and if you get hurt or have medical bills they have to pay them, only until you are 18 though. it is best to talk to your local police officers, seeing as they are the ones your parents would contact when they find you gone. they will tell you exactly what you can and can't do. my local police officers told me that my parents couldn't do anything as long as I'm alright, not kidnapped or anything like that.

∙ 11y agoNo. The legal age is 18 in Missouri and you can not move out wihtout parental consent before that. If they allow you to move out they are still obligated to pay for you. You will not get the child support but as always they will use it to pay for your expenses.

How does a 15-year-old female go about getting emancipated?
Check the laws of your state. Most states (with the exception of 1 or 2) require that a person be at least 16 years old in order to petition the court for emancipation. If your state will allow you to petition at 15, then you would have to prove, among other things, that you are capable of fully supporting yourself with no assistance and that there is a legitimate reason that it's in your best interest to be emancipated. Just not getting along with your parents or wanting more freedom is not going to be enough.
A father wanting to be emancipated from his child who is 18 to relief himself from paying child support he is behind on child support and wants out what can happen?
A father cannot petition for emancipation, the child has to. And it doesn't relieve him of paying back support payments.
If both your parents agree to your moving out can you be emancipated?
No, you cannot get emancipated from just one parent. It sounds like maybe what you're wanting to do is live with the non-custodial parent? If so, then that's a custody issue, not an emancipation issue. An emancipation decree conferred upon a minor indicates that the minor is deemed a legal adult and does not require the intervention of other adults (including a parent) in financial or personal matters.

Emancipation laws vary by state. You need to check the laws of the state that you reside in. Be aware that not all states have an emancipation statute.

How can I got about getting my boyfriend emancipated from his parents without having to go to court we have probable cause of wanting to get him out does anybody have any clue how we can do this?
You'll have to go to court. As far as I know, there's no way around that. You'll have to prove that he can financially support himself. At that point, papers will have to be signed. By definition, emancipation requires going to court. Not all states have an emancipation statute that allow it to be done, and most of them require parental consent. If there arereasons that it isn't afe for him to be in the home, social services can find a foster home.
Can a 16 year old girl marry a 23 year old guy in Missouri without parental consent if the mother of the girl wants nothing to do with her and the girls father is in prison?
No. This would be a case for the CPS since she is a minor and needs a guardian. Her parents are still obligated to support her. Not wanting to is not an option. Missouri does also not have a early emancipation for minors.
Can you get emancipated if your 17 in Georgia and how would you go about doing it?
Out of all the requests for emancipation, very few are granted. You have to prove severe abuse. If you are a female, getting pregnant will emancipate you. So will getting married (with parental consent). If you are just wanting to leave home, in Georgia you can leave at 17, and you cannot be forced to return. This is because you can now go to prison in Georgia at age 17. But you cannot be kicked out by your parents until age 18. Be aware that you can't legally sign a Lease or other Contract until age 18.

Can you get emancipated at 16 without parental consent in Michigan and then go live with your boyfriend?
The purpose of emancipation is to allow a mature teenager to live *on their own* No judge is going to emancipate a teenager for the purpose of living with her boyfriend. Michigan does allow persons 16 and older to petition the court for emancipation. In order for emancipation to be granted you would have to prove, among other things, that you are capable of fully supporting yourself (rent, utilities, food, etc) *without any assistance*. Although Michigan statue does not state so, most judges would also require that you remain in school. Your parents would be notified of the hearing and they would be allowed to contest the emancipation. You would have to prove to the court that it's truly in your best interest to live on your own. That's not always an easy thing to do, and you would have to have legitimate, valid reasons. Just not getting along with your parents or wanting more freedom is not going to be enough.
