Missouri allows a minor to emancipate him- or herself in a few situations.
- If the minor marries with consent of his or her parents, he or she is considered emancipated. In Missouri a minor can marry at the age of 16 with parental consent.
- If the minor enters active duty in the armed forces.
- If the minor has been declared emancipated by the court.
- If the minor has provided for his or her own food, shelter, and other living expenses through employment or other means.
- If the minor has consent to emancipate from his or her guardian or custodial parent.
