Child Custody

According to Michigan child custody laws, child custody is granted as legal custody and/or physical custody. Legal and physical custody can be granted jointly or separately, depending on the circumstances.

Legal custody, whether granted to one parent or to both jointly, involves major decision making for the minor child, including financial and medical decisions.

Physical custody typically designates which parent becomes the primary physical custodian of the minor children and when and where that will take place.

Whether you seek shared custody, joint custody, or individual custody, you should work with an experienced child custody attorney to ensure a legal, enforceable, and age-appropriate agreement . We regularly assist clients with custody agreements and custody disputes. We will carefully learn about your family and your situation and provide advice on the best course of action for you and your children. Our goal is to have the decision-making authority and living arrangements with the more appropriate parent, and according the wishes and interests of the children now and into the future.

We will work tirelessly to reach a solid custody agreement before turning over the decision to the family court. Legal and physical child custody determinations are too important to any parent to relinquish to a third party. In extreme disputes, we will zealously argue on your behalf and do everything we can to seek a court-ordered custody plan that is in your and your children's best interests.
