Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

My parents are moving out of my school district and I have 1 year left of high s

This is the situation. I am in a musical group in Saline and I want to persue music as a career of mine when I grow up. In school right now I am taking extremely hard classes my parents have chosen for me, Chemistry, Algebra 3. I am not interested in those but I have no choice. Now my parents want to stop me from playing music with my group. I play the piano and I love it more than anything. It would call it my passion. After high school I want to continue to go to college study Audio Engineering and continue with my band, but I will still have a college degree to fall back on. My parents want to see me study hard and love school work all the time but I am not like that I find Music is the drive to my life. I am not doing bad in school just b's and 1 c. This is unexpectable and my parents are now planning to move when I have grown up all my life in Saline and I have only my senior year left. I will be 16 over the summer when they decide to move only a couple months from being 17. Can I move out and stay with one of my band members family? If I move out over summer break I will still be 16 and if my parents call the cops will I be forced to go back? What can they do If I move out? I will be so close to 17.

Please help thanks

You are asking questions that have no answers. Parents sometimes think that they have the best answers for their kids. However, I always say that if I want financial advice, I'll go to Donald Trump. Are your parents so successful that they feel that they know what is best for you in the long run? Or are they trying to make up for their personal deficiencies by living through their kid(s)? I don't know the answers and no one can tell you how to solve this. All I can tell you, is that I was faced with very similar circumstances as a kid. I overcame them and it made me stronger......kind of like naming a boy Sue, like in that Johnny Cash song. However, you never stop carrying around the resentment. Bill Stern 248-353-9400
