If you are considering divorce and want to protect both your children and your relationship with them — we can help. Find the child custody solutions and representation you need by calling us or contacting us online today.
In Michigan, as in other states, "the best interests of the child" is the guiding principle used to resolve custody disputes. Although sole custody is awarded in some cases – joint legal custody, with one parent holding primary physical custody and the other parent having parenting time/visitation rights or shared custody where the child spends approximately equal time with both parents – are common types of child custody arrangements that result from a divorce.
Taken from the Michigan Child Custody Act, these are some of specific factors courts consider:
Generally speaking, children need relationships with both of their parents. Because of that, parenting time (also known as visitation) is a key component of nearly every child custody order. In addition to helping you arrange an initial schedule that works for your family, our lawyers can also help you after your divorce if you should ever need to ask the court to modify your child custody or parenting time arrangement.
