Having the right lawyer to protect your rights and the best interests of your children can be one of the most important factors in getting through the process with your emotions and your family as intact as possible.
At the Law Offices of Lisa D. Stern, we have experience in all legal matters relating to Michigan divorce and child custody issues. We serve families in Bingham Farms and other communities in the northern Detroit suburbs.
Factors in Determining Child Custody
You and your spouse can negotiate a parenting plan that will allow both you and your spouse to be actively involved parents. If you and your spouse cannot agree on a plan, the court will decide what is best for your children based on 12 factors. Examples of those factors include:
- The mental and physical health of the parties involved
- The home, school and community record of the child
- The reasonable preference of the child, if the court considers the child to be of sufficient age to express preference
- The willingness and ability of each of the parties to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing parent-child relationship between the child and the other parent, or the child and the parents
- Domestic violence, regardless of whether the violence was directed against or witnessed by the child
For more information about all 12 factors and how they may apply in your case, contact us for a free initial consultation.
