My friend lives in michigan. His stepdad is only related to him by marriage to his mother and he was not adopted by his stepdad so he still has his real dads last name

To put it bluntly .. being 18 years of age, he is LEGALLY an adult ...
And yes, he can be removed from the home at this time.
Now ... I have to point this out ... is his 'attitude' showing in the home? Is he disrespecting the Home or the Rules and/or both parents? Is he demanding, filthy, uncaring, and destructive? Is he heaping abuse (whether it is assaults, property damage, verbal/mental, emotional or other forms) on others in the home? Is he doing illegal substances or bringing his addictions into the home?
At this time he needs to grow up, GET A JOB, and yes, start taking responsibility for HIMSELF .. including his behaviors and choices in life.
Believe me, the reason that the stepparent would want to 'dig in their heels' and be out front with their DESIRE to REMOVE This Legal Adult from the home is because of what they are ENDURING at this time ... disrespect, abuse, property damage, etc.

At 18, I guess this step-dad can unless his mom puts her foot down and says no way! If he is part owner of the house, the 18yr old lives in, he (sd) can. Now his Mom can walk away from this jerk for the love she has with her son. I'm sure the step-dad put up with the 18 yr old so he could make it with his mom. He is a phony because if love fails he has nothing and it sounds like he is failing in the love area. Now if the 18 yr. old is giving the step dad grief and does drugs and gets drunk and has tickets and has legal problems then he should find his own place and handle his own 18yr old self.
My advice is; When you are not liked and threatened by someone with one of your parents, make plans to move out. There is nothing good about being raised by someone that wants you out when you are a good kid. We tend to learn in our early years and he may do it to his kids because of his step-dad.
Say a prayer for your friend and hope all works out well in the next few weeks.

Of course he can get thrown out.
This has nothing to do with whether or not the guy is his father or step-dad. It has to do with the house belonging to the step dad and he deciding who can live there. The step-dad has every right to kick free loaders like your friend out whenever he wants too. The mom can only stop him if she is the one who owns the house and is willing to get divorced over it.

I believe that the stepfather has no say in this childs life whatsoever. Since your friend is not his child, and he has not been adopted by the step-parent, then they really can't do anything. They have no legal bearing on this child. It's up to his mother to stand up and fight for this child. If I was his mother, I would tell the step-father that my son is more important to me. I gave birth to him and no one will kick him out of any place but me!!!!!
That's just my point of view.

If his stepfather owns the house he definitely can thru out your friend. If his mother and stepfather own the house together the stepfather still has rights but so does the mom so it would make it more difficult but probably still likely. How about letting your friend live with you or go to his father? Good luck to him and God Bless.

possibly, your friend would be considered an adult by the state of michigan and therefore not a dependant. quite possibly though it may be up to his mother. you might want to call a lawyer, most give free advice on matters of law.

Why does he want to kick him out......it's not just because he turned 18. He is doing something wrong and dad doesn't like it. His house.....His money......His rules.

Whoever owns the house can have him legally removed. I hope for your friend's sake it's mom.
