S8 Ep3: Can I Get Custody Automatically If My Ex Has a Criminal Record?

#ChooseGoldman Having an ex with a criminal record doesn't automatically grant you child custody. The court's primary focus is always on the best interest and safety of the child, examining how the record truly impacts their well-being. • A criminal record alone does not automatically dictate child custody; the court always prioritizes the child's best interests. • The relevance of a criminal record depends on whether it indicates a direct danger to the child's safety and well-being. • Old criminal records are typically not a deciding factor unless they show a current and ongoing threat. • Crimes involving active substance abuse or domestic violence are taken very seriously due to their immediate impact on a child's safety. • The court considers all aspects of a parent's current ability to provide a safe and stable environment, not just past mistakes. 📞 (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/HlR2R0dh8gE For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/law-library/child-custody-and-best-interest-of-child-michigan ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
