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.
