S9 Ep70: What Is the Biggest Mistake in a Custody Battle

from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan · host Akiva Goldman

#ChooseGoldman Making mistakes during a legal dispute over your children can lead to a total loss of custody and legal standing. Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts prioritize parental cooperation and will rule against those who use children as weapons or ignore official orders. • Using children as leverage or weapons is a massive mistake that causes parents to lose their case once the court discovers the behavior. • Trash-talking the other parent signals to the judge that joint custody is not viable due to a lack of cooperation. • Disobeying court orders regarding parenting time, clothing, or medication destroys a parent's credibility and trust with the court. • Allowing emotions to dictate business decisions, such as refusing to sell a marital home out of spite, results in significant financial harm. • Bringing up unprovable allegations without documents or witnesses makes a parent look like a complainer and damages their legal position. 📞 (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=UWZCZq_eeY4 For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
