How old do I have to be to leave home?

[my_sharona]

I am trying to find out how old I have to be to leave home in Missouri without parental consent. I have searched all of Missouri's statutes, and several sites as well, to no avail. Emancipation does not seem feasable at this point, so this is my only resort. If you have any idea as to the ages, or know where I might find it, please let me know. Thanks.

Legally it is 18.. earlier and it depends on what your parents will do about it. Some will not care.. others will make your life hell. Unless you are being abused, then I suggest you play the good kid, save up your money and finish highschool first.
