Legal Question in Juvenile Dependency in Michigan

i turn 16 in a month and a half. my boyfriend and i have never had sex because he is alot older then i am and i dont want him to get into any trouble. my mother said that the only way she will let us be together is if she goes to the court house when i am 16 and signs the papers for us to get married. but i dont want to get married just yet i just want to live with him. is there any other way we could do this? could she just sign something that says we can live together?
