Parenting Time in Michigan

When the issue of parenting time is before a court, the Judge must consider what is in the best interest of the child when determining each parent’s visitation schedule.

There a number of factors that the court can consider when making a parenting time determination and the Family Law Firm at Van Tubergen, Treutler & Hayes, PLLC is here to represent your best interests. Some of these factors include the parent’s work schedules, proximity of the parent’s homes, location of school, other individuals living in the home, substance abuse, domestic violence, mental health and the ability of the parents to cooperate for the best interest of the minor child.

Parenting time schedules can be unique to each case. Some schedules are very restrictive requiring supervised parenting time with no overnight visitation to very liberal schedules where the parent’s essentially share the parenting time equally.

Parenting time is a very important aspect of the family and it is very important to consult with an attorney who is experienced in dealing with parenting time issues prior to entering into an agreement regarding parenting.
