S9 Ep92: How Can I Maintain Full Custody if My Ex Wants Visitation?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman clarifies the distinction between full custody and parenting time, explaining that while you may have decision-making authority, the other parent is generally entitled to visitation. He outlines the legal requirements and the burden of proof necessary to modify these arrangements if a child's stability is at risk. • Full legal and physical custody gives you the power to make major decisions, but it does not automatically eliminate the other parent's right to see the child. • Michigan courts prioritize the best interest of the child, which typically includes maintaining a relationship with both parents through a set schedule. • To stop or change visitation, you must prove a material change in circumstances, such as health concerns, stability issues, or scholastic problems. • It is the custodial parent's responsibility to document every issue with evidence from schools, doctors, and communications to justify a court review. • Parenting time is not a challenge to your custody; it is an opportunity for the child to spend time with the other parent unless a specific danger like addiction is proven. 📞 (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://youtu.be/6iymbQ4sJD0 For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer/modification-child-custody-michigan ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
