Summary
In Michigan, both parents with legal custody can take their child on vacation unless theres a court order against it. A parent can ask the court for a temporary restraining order or modify the custody agreement to prevent this. However, to get a restraining order, one must show immediate danger or harm to the child. A childs age does not generally impact a parents right to take them on vacation, but it may be considered if it impacts the childs well-being. The court decides on custody modifications based on the childs best interest. Factors considered may include the childs age, health, safety concerns, and the nature of the trip. Evidence of a parents aggression or neglect could potentially influence a courts decision on custody. Obtaining sole custody can be challenging in Michigan as courts often favor joint custody unless its not in the childs best interest.Full Conversation
