Missouri does not have an emancipation status. A minor who is not a victim of neglect and/or abuse, may apply for early emancipation if he/she is at least 16. If it is a DFS matter, the issue will be handled according to juvenile law guidelines. If it is a voluntary request the minor must present proof they are able to live without adult involvement. Meaning able to earn enough income to pay for housing, food, clothing, medical care, and if applicable their continuing education, and so forth. The minor will also be responsible for paying filing fees and other court costs. Emancipation (freedom) ironically does not come free. In regards to emancipation of a minor, parental permission is irrelevant. A court does not arbitrarily grant emancipation decrees. If the minor child is in an environment that is neglectful and/or abusive they should contact state social services for assistance. DSS will conduct an investigation and if circumstances warrant, remove the child from the family home. The child will then become a ward of the court, there will be a hearing to present evidence and take testimony from concerned parties. The presiding judge reviews all the evidence and renders a decision on what if any action should be taken. Either the child will be returned to the family home, be placed with a relative who is acceptable to the court and willing to take the responsibility; or placed in a foster or group home. If the minor child believes they are in imminent danger they should contact the local police or make a 911 call.
