S9 Ep68: What Hurts a Child Custody Case?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains how Michigan courts evaluate a parent's judgment and daily reliability to determine the best interests of the child. Making poor choices on social media or failing to show up for your children can quickly damage your standing and credibility in a custody battle. • Dangerous or poorly judged social media posts can create a permanent negative record that hurts your standing in the court environment. • Missing scheduled parenting time destroys your credibility, making it appear that you are just putting on a show for the court. • Substance abuse and addiction signal to the judge that a parent is unreliable and that the child may be at significant risk. • Poor communication with the other parent can lead the court to identify you as the impediment to a healthy co-parenting relationship. • Ignoring a child's specific daily needs, such as forgetting to provide medical gear or eyeglasses, suggests a lack of parental focus and care.
