Michigan Parenting Plan Lawyer
In determining issues such as child custody, child visitation and support, Michigan courts will consider the best interests of your children. By putting your child's interests first, you and your spouse will be much closer to negotiating a workable parenting plan for your children after divorce.
At the Law Offices of Lisa D. Stern, we share the state's believe that the best interests of your children are paramount in child custody decisions. We serve families in Plymouth, Canton and other communities in the northern Detroit suburbs.
Determining Your Children's Best Interests
When the two parents cannot agree on who should have primary physical custody and how much visitation the other parent should have after divorce, the court will decide based on several factors. For example, the court will consider:
- The emotional ties between parent and children
- Which parent has the financial means and emotional ability to raise the child
- The stability of the existing home and school environments, as well as proposed living arrangements
- The reasonable preference of the child, if the court considers the child to be of sufficient age to express preference
- The ability of both parents to continue to work amicably in raising the children
