17 year old wants to move out

[cbg]

FYI there is no state where the age of majority is lower than 18.

But, cbg, will that be the case in 2020, when this thread is revived again?

the age of majority is 18 in MI but there is a problem with the juvenile court having, or not having, jurisdiction over a 17 yo.

here are the rules on jurisdiction of the juvenile courts:

We also have this little bit in the law as well:

(h) "Juvenile" means a person who is less than 17 years of age who is the subject of a delinquency petition.
