What is the legal age to move without parent consent in Missouri?

Answer 1

No, the age of majority in MO. is 18. RSMO 210.110 (3) "Child" any person regardless of physical or mental conditon under 18 years of age. RSM) 660.400 (1) "Adult" an individual over 18 years of age. Answer Actually, the age here in Missouri that you would be considered an adult at, is 17. But, if you wanted to continue school, but moved out of the school district, your parents would have to sign for your transfer. Answer The statutes, Revised Statute MO. 210.110 and Revised Statute MO. 660.400 are indeed the correct laws concerning the age of majority. The confusion is caused by the noted exception to the law which is a 17 years old is considered emancipated if they marry or join the military. Although the reality is, most states do not enforce the age of majority laws when they relate to 17 years old, unless authorities have a reason to become involved.

Missouri does have a qualified minor law, allowing you to leave your parents home at 16 under certain circumstances.
