Can you get emancipated at 16 without parental consent in Michigan and then go live with your boyfriend?

The purpose of emancipation is to allow a mature teenager to live *on their own* No judge is going to emancipate a teenager for the purpose of living with her boyfriend. Michigan does allow persons 16 and older to petition the court for emancipation. In order for emancipation to be granted you would have to prove, among other things, that you are capable of fully supporting yourself (rent, utilities, food, etc) *without any assistance*. Although Michigan statue does not state so, most judges would also require that you remain in school. Your parents would be notified of the hearing and they would be allowed to contest the emancipation. You would have to prove to the court that it's truly in your best interest to live on your own. That's not always an easy thing to do, and you would have to have legitimate, valid reasons. Just not getting along with your parents or wanting more freedom is not going to be enough.

What is a Petoskey stone?

AnswerA Petoskey stone is a rock, often pebble-shaped, that is composed of a fossilized coral, Hexagonaria percarinata. The stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, grinding off their rough edges and depositing them in the northwestern portion of Michigan's lower peninsula.

Petoskey stones are found in the Gravel Point Formation of the Traverse Group. They are fragments of a coral reef that was originally deposited during the Devonian period, about 350 million years ago. When dry the stone resembles ordinary limestone but when wet or polished using lapidary techniques, the distinctive mottled pattern of the fossil emerges. It is sometimes made into decorative objects. Other forms of fossilized coral are also found in the same location.

In 1965, it was named the state stone of Michigan.

The name comes from an Ottawa Indian Chief, Chief Pet-O-Sega. The city of Petoskey, Michigan, is also named after him, and is the center of the area where the stones are found. The stones are commonly found on beaches and in sand dunes.

According to legend, Petosegay was the child of a descendant of French nobleman and fur trader, Antoine Carre and an Ottawa princess. Petosegay, meaning "rising sun" "rays of dawn" or "sunbeams of promise", was named after the rays of sun that fell upon his newborn face. In keeping with his promising name, Petosegay was a wealthy fur trader who gained much land and acclaim for himself and his tribe. He was remarked upon to have a striking and appealing appearance, and spoke English very well. He married another Ottawa, and together they had two daughters and eight sons. In the summer of 1873, a few years before the Chiefs' passing, a city began on his land along the bay of Bear Creek. The settlers christened the newborn city Petoskey, the English translation of Petosegay.

but what way has it's own is just like well u know.

How did Michigan get its nicknames?

I am a resident of Michigan and from what I know the common nicknames are Winter Wonderland- we got this name do to the intense amont of snow we get in the winter most of it in the UP (upper pininsula), The Great Lake State- we got this name do to the large fresh water lakes that surrond us (some of the largest in the world) and then there is The Wolverine State- we got this name NOT because we have alot of wolverines in Michigan (actually they are VERY rare) but because of our fiercness towards Ohio (Ohio gave us that nickname) when we wanted the Toledo strip but that is a whole different story. Another interesting fact is Michigan got is name from Mishigami (a french interpertaion of a native American word) wich means Great Waters and the French settelers gave us that name.
