People under 18 in Missouri have the legal right to make all decisions for their children, including decisions about medical treatment, where and with whom the children will live, and decisions about the child's upbringing.That said, Missouri laws relating to minors' school attendance, ability to work and earn money, and to enter into contracts may make it difficult for young people to make some decisions independently.If you are concerned about your situation, text us at 855-458-0886 for more information on young people's legal rights in parenting.
