Milford Michigan Visitation and Overnights Lawyer
If you are going through a divorce or separation from a partner, you may be wondering how often you will be able to see your children.
Michigan laws recognize that when parents separate or divorce, it is in the best interests of their children to have strong relationships with both parents. Therefore, parenting time should be of a frequency, duration and type reasonably calculated to promote a strong relationship between the children and each parent. This usually results in a fair and equitable overnight plan so both parents stay involved in their child's life.
What if My Children Aren't Safe?
There are times, however, when an overnight plan is not in the children's best interests. Your ex-spouse or partner may struggle with drug addition or alcoholism. In these cases, there are options. The parent picking up the children for an overnight or even just a visit can be ordered to pass a Breathalyzer or drug test before putting the children in the car and again when they return the children. If they fail, they don't get parenting time.
