Generally speaking, he is not a minor once he turns 18.  If you are asking about support, Michigan law only allows for child support until 18 or upon graduation from high school but latest 19 and a half.  Agreements can always be made otherwise and no, I do not recommend doing it yourself.  At the very least you need to consult with an attorney as to your rights.  Good luck.
