Judges Decide on Your Child’s Best Interests
Under MCL 722.23, a Michigan judge must decide on custody issues based on the standard of the “best interests of the child.” This law states that the child’s best interests can be determined based on 12 factors.
Legacy Legal & Business Services PLC will help you determine the viability of achieving your child custody wishes by reviewing the following factors:
- The child’s emotional ties to each parent
- Each parent’s ability to provide emotional support
- Each parent’s ability to provide for the child’s mental and physical health
- The child’s time spent in a safe home and desire for continuity
- The status of the proposed custodial home
- Each parent’s moral fitness
- Each parent’s mental and physical health
- Home, school, and community record of the proposed custodial location
- The child’s wishes
- Each parent’s willingness to encourage a close parent-child relationship with the other
- Any acts of domestic violence directed at or witnessed by the child
- Other factors deemed relevant by the court for the specific issues
Our Kent County attorney will meticulously analyze these factors and how they apply to your situation and goals while asking the courts for arrangements that foster stability, emotional support, and a nurturing environment for your child. Legacy Legal & Business Services PLC will also investigate your side of the story and preserve evidence that speaks to the facts.
