S7 Ep93: Can you refuse custody of a child?

#ChooseGoldman When a custody order feels wrong, some parents consider taking matters into their own hands. In this episode, we explore why this is a critical mistake, the severe legal consequences of defying a court order, and the proper legal channels you should use instead to protect your parental rights. • Defying a custody order is a serious violation that can lead to contempt of court charges and other severe penalties. • Self-help plans, such as running away with a child, will ultimately backfire and can result in the near-total loss of parenting time. • To successfully challenge a custody arrangement, you must present objective, unbiased evidence to the court, not just your personal opinions. • If you lack strong evidence to support your case for sole custody, a judge is likely to default to a shared custody situation. • The only correct way to address an unfavorable ruling is to work within the legal system by filing an appeal or a motion for reconsideration. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
