S10 Ep18: Can My Work Schedule Hurt My Custody Case?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that while work is necessary, Michigan courts prioritize parental availability when determining custody and parenting time. If your job prevents you from using your scheduled time or keeps you out of town frequently, it could significantly hurt your legal position. • Availability is considered the key to winning custody as courts look for parents who are physically present for the child. • Working out of town for a majority of the week can lead to a denial of custody requests because the child's daily care is at stake. • Consistently missing your scheduled parenting time due to work obligations may result in the court permanently taking that time away. • Parents with non-traditional schedules, such as emergency workers, must proactively provide the court with a specific and workable parenting plan. • It is crucial to address work schedule issues early and demonstrate exactly how you will be present for your child to protect your custody rights. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/-VTDCOheM_Q For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
