S10 Ep92: What Happens to Custody if a Parent Goes to Jail?

from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan

#ChooseGoldman Discover what happens to child custody when a custodial parent goes to jail and why taking proactive legal action is essential. • Going to jail does not automatically change existing family court orders. • You must file a petition with the family court to officially request custody and stop child support. • Failing to update court orders can result in accumulating child support arrearages and legal trouble. • You can file an immediate motion as soon as sentencing is coming down to ensure a smooth transition of custody. • When a parent is released from jail, custody does not automatically revert; a new motion and best-interest evaluation are required.
