The legal age of an adult in Michigan is 17 not 18 as most believe.

AnswerIn MI, the age of majority (the age at which you are considered to be an adult) is 18. Anyone under that age, who has not been emancipated, is considered to be a minor and is under the control and authority of their parents.

Michigan does allow a person who is at least 16 to petition for emancipation. However, one of the requirements is: "the minor's parent or guardian does not object to the petition; or if a parent or guardian objects to the petition, that the objecting parent or guardian is not providing the minor with support"
