    You daughter is a minor until the age of 18 and she cannot move out without first being declared emancipated by a court. Emancipation in Missouri can be done in three ways: First, you (as the parent) can relinquish your parental rights and agree to the emancipation. Second, if your daughter is already living alone and supporting herself than the law may imply that you waived your parental rights (but she would still need a court order saying she is emancipated). Or third, a minor with a change of status may be emancipated as well. A change of status would be getting married or joining the military.
