Emancipation - Can a non resident be emancipated by a Michigan court?

Question

I live in the state of Ohio and I was wondering if I could go to Michigan to become emancipated by the courts without being a resident.

Answer

I believe the answer would be "No".  The statute requires that you must file a petition in the family division of the circuit court in the county in which you reside.
