My ex parties a lot. It's not appropriate. I want custody changed. What you say and what the court believes may not be the same thing. Why take the chance? You need to document everything. How do we document this? So many people have stuff on videos, and photographs on cellphones. They have TikToks and Snapchat. All these things have online post visuals. This will help the court determine whether something is going on which is really inappropriate behavior. Contact your lawyer and tell them what you suspect. He or she will tell you this is what we'll need. You have to understand one thing. There's no law against partying. There's no law against drinking alcohol. There's no law against getting drunk. It becomes an issue when certain things go along with that. For example, there's no law against getting drunk but you can't be drunk and drive. Similarly, with respect to custody if you just show that your ex-spouse's parties a lot. has a lot of people over. Has a good time. Maybe gets loud singing Karaoke. None of that is going to mean a thing. Unless you can link that to a problem with the safety of the child. If you show that somehow the party is going on in the presence of the child. If you're showing somebody just blowing off steam, it's not going to help you in your case where you want to modify or change custody.

There are certain things the court considers when determining the custody of a child. In most cases, it's a very close call. You usually have two nice folks who are well-adjusted. They are reasonable members of society. May be they have decent jobs. The wealth of the parents is not a factor. It is hard to choose between one and the other. The court always has an option to award joint custody. The court can do that. Different judges look at it different ways. There are considerations that jump right off the page. Like abuse. All things being equal and one has a history of abuse. The choice will never be in favor of the abuser. It is the same for a parent with a history of substance abuse. You'll expose the child to a substance like cocaine. Another consideration is how the parent relate to the court. Does one party consistently disregard the court? People go to this divorce proceeding so nasty with each other. They disregard whatever the court says. Then they go to the same judge to appeal for custody. There's a likelihood that whatever order is given will be violated too.

In the context of custody, there are two types. The physical custody and the legal custody. Physical custody has to do with where the child sleeps at night. Legal custody has to do with the major decision-making regarding the child. It does not mean the choice of what to wear in school. It is about medical decisions. It is about educational decisions. Religious decision. Legal custody is about the fundamentals. One of the fundamentals is about schooling. It has become very fundamental during COVID. It showed that an average 8-hour can be compressed in an hour of homeschooling. Now parents have to make a decision if children should be homeschooled or not. The parties will have to talk about it. If only one parent has legal custody, there won't be a discussion about it. In a joint legal custody, the court will have to do an evidentiary hearing. The court will have to find out what is in the best interest of the child.

What about visitation with respect to an ex? Do you get to see your child? What do you mean ex? Do you mean ex-wife or ex-girlfriend? Does it make a difference? The quick answer is it really doesn't. The ability or right to see your child is not tied to a marriage. You were unmarried. You had an unmarried relationship. Now you have a child. The relationship has ended. Do you have the right to see your child? Yes. It would be helpful that you and your ex-girlfriend can work out a parenting time. What if you can't work out parenting time? What do you do? You get your lawyer to file a motion for parenting time. You are entitled to spend time with your child. You are entitled to go to court and ask for your parenting time. If you are married, there is a presumption of paternity. In a non-marital union the other parent can deny you. This becomes a DP case. A petition to establish paternity. This allows you to claim paternity. The court can have the hearings. Enter the appropriate orders for parenting time.

What does the court consider in determining custody? People will contact lawyers and tell a set of facts. My ex-spouse did this. My wife wants that. My husband says this. Therefore, I want to change custody. Lawyers will say, I hear what you're saying but these are the rules. These are the things that the court looks at to determine custody. What you are telling me right now doesn't even impact those things at all. What does the court use to determine a change in custody? If you start with this, you are most likely going to come up with factors that are relevant to the proceedings. The dictates of the law require to consider certain things. The court still needs to deal with other matters. Everything the court considers is in the best interest of the child. The best interest of the child is determined by a dozen factors that the court uses. It all goes to the stability of the child. You got to know what the court considers. It is not your best interest. It is the best interest of your child.

Waiting periods. What are waiting periods? Some people think that a waiting period is a period you have to endure before you can file a divorce or go to court. Some people think of it as a separation period. Where you have to separate first before you can file a divorce. There are a couple of periods that are relevant. They have been called waiting periods. They are periods that have to pass in order for certain things to happen. When there's a divorce for children there's a six-month waiting period. That does not mean you have to wait six months before you can file your divorce. It means that for divorce with children, the court is going to put the lifecycle of the case and span it over a six-month period. From the time you started the case until the time you're ready to finish, six months have elapsed. The lifecycle of a case without children is much shorter. The waiting period is condensed from six months to sixty days. After sixty days pass you will be invited to finalize your case. The six-month waiting period sometimes can be shortened. It can be waived. There is another waiting period people consider about residency. It is not a waiting period. It is more of a statutory period of eligibility. It is more of a jurisdictional qualification.

Where does one begin in the divorce process? The divorce process will go down on one of many roads depending on what's involved. It can be the length of marriage, assets in the marriage, children, how many children, and custody issues. When you take the first steps in this process either you are being served or you're starting to process the divorce yourself. The first thing you have to do you have to contact your lawyer. Tell them what the situation is. We're married for 10 years and we have children. We're married for 2 years. We don't have children. We're married for 2 years and while we don't have children, we have pets and a huge business. It will allow your lawyer to share with you and guide you along which road to take. What you need to do is mentally assess what your case is about. You should get this information together. How long have you been married? Do you have children? Is this your first marriage? Are there any assets? Do you own your home? That's the kind of questions your lawyer will ask off the bat. Mentally get a picture of your marriage. Write it down or get it in your head. Call your lawyer and tell your lawyer the exact scenario of your marriage. Your lawyer will be able to guide you on how to get more details. Get all the information prepared. It doesn't have to be ready at the first meeting.

What happens with alimony when your ex-spouse starts making more money? You have alimony with your spouse making about 50K. Your spouse starts making a bit more from 50K to 53.5K. It is something you can consider substantial. It's not even worth talking about. The amount of money you will be spending on your lawyer and the filing of the motion for modification will be more. Probably more than the expected benefit from the slight increase in alimony. It isn't worth it in the long run. When your ex-spouse starts making money from 50K to 100K, then that is a substantial change in income. There should be an impact. That is what the court looks for. It justifies looking at the numbers again. The court will look at other factors too. The significant change will justify revisiting alimony.

What if you file for divorce and your spouse does not respond? The law gives a spouse served within the state of Michigan a certain amount of time to answer. Your spouse has 21 days. You can wait out that time. After 21 days, you should take action. If your spouse does not respond and you're not doing anything, the court will dismiss the case due to no progress. If you proceed, you need to file an entry of default. The court clerk will make that entry of default. Contact an attorney because you still need to draft your judgment of divorce. Your attorney will reach out to your spouse. There should be an effort to try in spite of the lack of response. Your spouse did not get service. Your spouse doesn't know how to proceed even if they did receive the papers. There is a certain procedural requirement for a judgment of divorce by default. You have to do it right. You don't want to be in a situation where your spouse can set aside the default later. You want to bring finality to the divorce. You want to make sure the default is properly entered.

If somebody is not honoring the judgment of divorce, they are doing several things. One, they are prolonging the litigation which should have been over with the judgment. Two, they are disregarding a court order. It's how the judge will see it. A judgment is like a contract. Failure to comply is a breach of that contract. The other party will have to file a motion. The other party will now pay a lawyer to do the motion. There will be a hearing. The court will act on the motion to enforce the judgment. The judge is going to penalize the party who ignored the judgment. Make that party pay what is due to the other party. Add the cost of attorney fees and fees for the filing of the motion. It is not fair to let the other party carry the cost of enforcing a judgment.
