Is it legal for me to move out of my home at 16 in Missouri? Also can my parents press charges on my 19 year old boyfriend?
I live with my parents and they don’t like my boyfriend and continue to threaten the law into this situation since we have had sex.

If your boyfriend is under 21 and you are over 15 the statutory rape laws would not apply. You will have to ask an experienced family lawyer about the process for emancipation as it is outside of my experience.
