S9 Ep66: What Happens If One Parent Won't Communicate About the Child

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts will intervene with specific communication tools or legal sanctions if a parent refuses to cooperate. When one party remains unreachable or acts in an unproductive way, the court can adjust custody and parenting time to ensure the child's stability is protected. • Michigan courts prioritize the child's needs and require parents to communicate effectively for the sake of the child. • The court can mandate the use of non-inflammatory communication platforms, such as specialized apps, to ensure all interactions are tracked and peaceful. • Failure to answer calls or follow communication orders can lead to sanctions, such as being ordered to pay the other parent's attorney fees. • Persistent lack of cooperation regarding scheduling or activities can result in significant changes to child custody and parenting time. • When a parent stays unreachable or acts obstructively, the court has the power to grant makeup parenting time to the other parent.
