17-Year-Olds Moving Out in MIGenerally speaking, a 17-year-old can leave home in Michigan. The age of majority in Michigan is 18.

You can move out when you are 17. Parents can not report you as a runaway in the state of Michigan if you are 17 years old the police will not force you or take you back home.

Michigan's Runaway and Homeless Youth Act gives police the power to take a minor into custody and remand them to a juvenile facility until a court hearing.

Here is more input:

  • The legal age of majority is 18. So, in most circumstances, unless you are emancipated you will not be able to move out at 17.
  • The age of majority in Michigan is 18. Anyone under the age of 18 is a minor, and their parents have the right to determine where they live. If you leave home at 17 without parental permission or being emancipated in some manner (marriage, court order, etc), then your parents can report you to the police as runaway.
  • Michigan has a similar confusing statute as does Missouri and other states. The legal age of majority is 18, but the Juvenile Code defines an "adult" as being anyone who is the age of seventeen. The "17" designation refers to judicial proceedings only, it indicates when a person of at least that age can be prosecuted as an adult for specified offenses. In addition, the state participates in AMBER ALERT where state law specifies a "child" (not a minor) as being under the age of 17. There is a difference, a minor is someone under the age of 18-years, a child for the application of the state abduction and missing child laws is designated as being under the age of 17-years. The misinterpretation of the laws is what led to the passing of the Michigan Runaway and Homeless Child Act.
