Emancipation - Can I become emancipated when my parents are supporting me?

Question

I am from Michigan ,but right now I am only 15 years old. I am looking into emancipation for future reference.  My parents are currently supporting me, but I still feel I need/want to move out.  I have a job and would be able to manage my affairs well.  My question is that even though I am being financially supported, can I still get emancipated?

Answer

If your parents are supporting you, you cannot become judicially emancipated in Michigan without their consent.
