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.
