S8 Ep53: Can You Get Custody If You Have a History of Addiction?

#ChooseGoldman In this episode, we tackle a sensitive but crucial question: can you get custody of your children if you have a history of addiction? Akiva Goldman explains how Michigan courts view these situations, emphasizing that the focus is on current stability, responsibility, and the child's best interests, not past mistakes. • A history of addiction does not automatically disqualify you from being a custodial parent. • The court's primary focus is on what is safe and in the best interest of the child, not on judging past health issues. • Demonstrating a consistent and managed recovery effort is viewed very favorably by the court. • A responsible parent in recovery can be a better custodial choice than an unreliable parent with no addiction history. • Securing legal representation is vital to properly frame your recovery story and defend against attacks on your past. 📞 (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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGn0iYUpvWY For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
