Question: Can a 27 year old date a 17 year old in Missouri?

If an individual in the State of Missouri is under the age of 21, they may have sexual intercourse with someone who is 14 years of age or older. After an individual becomes 21 years old or older in the State of Missouri, they cannot have sexual intercourse with an individual who is under the age of 17.

Since the legal age of majority in Missouri is 18, the legal age for a young adult to move out from his or her parents home is 18. The only way a minor can move out without their parents consent is by becoming emancipated.

Can I run away at 17 in Mo?

Currently in the state of Missouri a 17 year old is not considered a runaway if they leave home without parental consent. Teens are not only allowed to run away/ move out of the parents home for ANY reason they see fit, but are actually backed by law enforcement.
