    Default Emancipation and Age of Consent

    hello, I'm 17 years old (18 in 7 months) and I live in Michigan. My father passed away suddenly a week ago. I have an older brother, who is 19 and my mother is still somewhat around but un-fit (on drugs,and on wel-fare). My brother has custody of me right now, and he's decided to get me emancipated. Anyways, to get a little off track, I'm in love with someone (John) I've known since I was 14. The thing is he's 27. We've known for the last three years that we need eachother. We have not been in a relationship, because of the law obviously. John has not touched me at all, he has total respect for me. I have kept John a secret from my brother and father for the last three years because I didn't want to worry them or have them not let me see him. John was actually waiting until my 18th birthday to ask me out and introduce himself to my family.

    ANYWAYS, my question here is;

    Once I am emancipated, and I am still 17, would it be 100% legal to be with John, and him being 27?

    I tried looking into it, but I can't find anything covering that.

    Thank you.
