Child Custody Modification Guidelines

Summary

In Michigan, a mother can seek to modify custody or child support during an open child abuse case against the father, with the court considering the childs best interests. Courts may wait for CPS investigations to conclude before making significant changes, but this doesnt prevent filing for modification. If parenting time is suspended and visits are determined by the mother, she is not typically required to force the child to visit the other parent. Consulting a family law attorney is advisable for specific guidance.
