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
