A:
In Michigan, the age of majority is 18, which means that individuals are considered legal adults at that age. However, the situation may vary depending on the specific circumstances and the family's legal arrangements.
If your 17-year-old grandchild moved in with you with the consent of her parents or legal guardians, they might still have the legal authority to make decisions about her living arrangements. If they disagree with her living with you and wish for her to return home, they may have the right to request that she do so.
