My situation is unique to those I have read about and I need some confirmations. My parents are divorced, I lived in Missouri with my mother for five years, and had to leave earlier this year due to overwhelming stress caused by her. I am turning 17 Nov 29, 2017 and I currently live with my father and go to school in Texas. Texas state law states that at 17 I can legally move out without getting parents permission or getting emancipated, as does Missouri. I want to finish high school and go to college in Missouri, but I cannot live with my mother anymore. One of my closest (female not a boyfriend) friend's mother has offered to have me live with her until I finish high school in Missouri. I do not want any issues legally, as I want to be successful in college. How do I re-enroll at the high school in Missouri without either of my parents? Is there anything I cannot do or should be aware about before I move in with my friend?
