It designates that there are not laws that specifically address early emancipation pertaining to minors, therefore a minor may not directly petition the court for a emancipation decree. However, under the juvenile code a person who is at least seventeen (17) is considered an "adult". This stipulation allows a judge the option of granting emancipation rights to someone who is at least seventeen, if the circumstances warrant such action.

Is there any way you can separate yourself from your parents if your state does not have an emancipation statute?

The fact that the state may not have a specific law pertaining to emancipation does not mean that a petition to obtain early emancipation rights is not possible. Most states will allow a minor to file such action and rule on the case based on the individual circumstances. Contact the clerk of the court in the county in which you reside for more information.

Generally, a teen must reside in a state in order to file for emancipation there.

It's best to consult with a legal professional in the state where the teen resides to explore options for emancipation.


Does Missouri have a sunshine law for condo associations?

By sunshine law, one assumes you mean open board meetings. Your governing documents may specify whether or not board meetings are open. A quick review of the Missouri statute is silent on this issue. However, your association may be incorporated and the statute under which it is incorporated may have a sunshine provision.
