S9 Ep8: Do I Need a Lawyer To Petition For More Custody?

from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan · host Akiva Goldman

#ChooseGoldman While Michigan law allows you to represent yourself in a custody case, it's strongly advised against. The process is highly technical, and mistakes can have major, negative consequences for you and your child. • You are legally allowed to represent yourself in most custody cases, as the court does not forbid it. • However, it is "absolutely not" recommended because custody is a serious matter with major consequences, not a minor issue. • The process is very technical, and you can easily make mistakes that worsen your situation. • Lawyers understand the technical Michigan court rules, evidence procedures, and specific laws (like UCCJEA) that most members of the public do not. • Comparing it to a toothache, while you *could* pull your own tooth, a dentist (like a lawyer) knows how to do it correctly and safely. 📞 (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=gd8NHyxE4xw For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer/modification-child-custody-michigan ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
