Leaving home at 17 in Michigan

[Infantata]

Hello, I am a seventeen year old female in the state of Michigan. My mother and I recently got evicted from our previous address a couple of months ago. I've had numerous family members leave home at 17 without parental consent, and I am intending on doing the same. However, I've been told that there is a new law in place preventing it, but I can't find the law on the mcl (Michigan Combined Laws). I also have friends who have left home somewhat recently and haven't been returned home. If anybody could give me any information I'd highly appreciate it. Thank you.

I wish to inform you that at 17 you may not move out without consent of your mother. You are minor at present thus you are under guardianship of your mother and moving out will require her consent.

You cannot legally move out at 17 in Michigan. More importantly, whomever you stay with can be charged with harboring a minor and go to jail, getting a permanent record. In your position I would focus on convincing mom to allow a stable relative to have temporary custody until you turn 18. that will give you a stable environment and safe home life.
