Emancipation - Where can I get forms to petition for emancipation?

Question

I am looking for the right forms for petition and guidelines to go by to emancipate someone that I know.  The mother has agreed to petition; but we don't know how to go about it.

Answer

You may get a petition for emancipation from the family division of the circuit court for the county in which you live.  You may also be able to get such forms on line at the following location: http://courts.michigan.gov/scao/courtforms/index.htm

You will find information about Michigan emancipation in the Court Library section of this web site in the pamphlet "Support of Minors and Emancipation".  Specifically, this pamphlet is located at: http://courts.co.calhoun.mi.us/book002.htm
