Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Hello all, I am 18 years old, legally an adult, and I feel like the most healthy choice for my life, and yes, I have put a good deal of thought into this, would be to move out of my parent's house. Everyone I have asked so far has told me "You're 18 dude. If you want to move out, then do it! They can't stop you." But I feel like there's more to it than that! Are there any legal processes I have to go through through the school, work, etc. to ensure that my parents cannot find where I live or otherwise impede on my moving out? Also, any relevant information will be accepted. Thank you in advance for the info!

At eighteen, you can for the most part choose where you live. You can contract (theoretically) fit an apartment., and nitrite money to buy a vehicle. But, you may be letting your parents off if their obligations to pay for food, shelter and college. If you're planning to stay on a friend's couch, get written permission from them, out their parents. Otherwise, you could get kicked out, and your parents may not have to let u move back.

Good luck
