Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Basically, you'll need to show that you are self sufficient. You are earning enough to pay for your housing, food, and other needs without contribution from anyone, you aren't married to. If you're on any aid program, that could sink your emancipation efforts. You also might show that neither parent or guardian is willing or able to support you. For the specifics, you should consult directly with a probate or family practice attorney in your area.

Good luck
