What you are looking for is something called emancipation, which basically takes away your parents ability to control your decisions. Any minor who wants to be emancipated files a petition in the Probate Court, in the county where the minor resides. The Petition for Emancipation (Michigan Approved Court Form PC 100) must be completely filled out and signed by the minor. For the judge to make this determination the minor must be able to show that: - Parents or guardian do not object or if they do object they are not providing support to the minor. - The minor is at least 16 years old. - The minor is a resident of Michigan and that particular county. - The minor can manage his/her own finances and has either employment or means of support other than Public Assistance such as Food Stamps, TANF, State Disability. - The minor has the ability to handle personal and social affairs (including proof of housing). The minor understands his/her rights and responsibilities under this law. (The minor must read the emancipation law and understand it.)
