No, the legal age of majority in Missouri is 18. Please do not confuse this age with the age cited in the juvenile code referring to an "adult" as being 17-years of age. The JC is for adjudication procedures only and does not supercede the established legal age of the state which is most assuredly, 18.

∙ 11y agoYes, if you are 17 and live in Missouri, you are allowed by law to leave home without your parents permission. Additionally, the parents or parent is still required to maintain health insurance for the teenager until he or she turns 18. The teenager is not permitted to own a car (car title in the teen's name) until they are 18. If the teen leaves home in his/her car against their parents permission, the parents cannot report the car stolen. The parents can, however, repossess the car legally if they know where it is. This is the response given to me by the Callaway Sheriff's Office to the same question.
It's truly a mystery why law officers make such statements to underaged persons, especially when the information is completely wrong.
The legal age of majority in Missouri is 18. The juvenile code designates a 17-year-old as being an "adult". This is for judicial purposes only and does not supercede the legal age of majority.
Parents of minor who leave the family home against parental wishes may obtain a court order to have the minor returned to their custody. Or they may choose to petition the court to be relieved of their financial and legal obligations to said minor.
They are NOT responsible for medical or living expenses of a minor who leaves the family residence against their wishes.
I practice law in the state and have for 25 years, Therefore I am quite certain of the definition of Missouri laws pertaining to underaged persons. If a minor could leave home under such circumstances and the parents still be responsible for them or the MO. juvenile courts would not be backlogged by a multitude of incorrigible minors and runaway cases.
In regards to a vehicle, it is irrelevant as to the relationship of the person taking a vehicle against the owner's wishes. In Missouri, whomever holds title to the vehicle is the owner, and they may take whatever action they choose to recover the vehicle including filing a stolen vehicle report.

∙ 9y agoNo, legally you cannot move out at 17. So regardless of which state you are in it would be illegal. The authorities could return you home or place you in a foster home.
