    Default Can a 17 Year Old Be Emancipated if They Can Find a Place to Live and a Job

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Michigan

    I am looking to become emancipated on my 17th birthday due to the instability of my Parents . I have always been academically and athletically successful (National Honor Society/ Varsity letter earned/high rank in Martial Arts, etc.), and i do have a job that pays above minimum wage. Other than that, i also know people who have offered to let me stay at their home.

    Would my parents be able to take me back if i left to live at a friend's house?

    What is the procedure towards getting emancipated?

    Is there some sort of application i can fill out to give to a court?

    I don't think i can wait until i'm 18. There is a lot of verbal abuse from these people, but i don't want to get anyone in trouble i just want to leave and start my life.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    -Michigan_D
