Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ is and always has been the head of their church.
However, the church does, of course, have a leader on earth who is called the 'president' of the church. He is also considered a prophet. The current (June 2013) President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Thomas S. Monson. He was born on August 21, 1927 - so he will be 86 this summer.

Is it true that if a Mormon leaves the church and their whole family is Mormon does that mean that no matter what the age they are to be exiled from the chuch and family?
No, it is not true. I'm Mormon and plenty of my Mormon friends have left the church and are still welcome with their families. Other members of the families might be disappointed (as is the case with any religious family,) but ultimately we are taught that family is important and you should love them no matter what their choices are. Also, even if someone has left the Church, they are welcome at any time to participate in worship services and activities, just as all members of the public are. Church members strive to emulate Jesus Christ - who said that we should love everyone! They do NOT 'exile' or 'shun' people. Someone who is "excommunicated" from the Church has simply had their name taken off the official records of the Church. They are still welcome to participate in Church services and activities.
