Question:
My ex wife currently has custody of our 14 and 10 year- old children. I get them every other weekend. She pawns the kids off to to her family members when she is supposed to have them. What are my rights as the father ? I pay 75% of my pay 1612.00 salary a month for support. I would like to have 50/50 custody of the kids, could I get that changed? My kids are missing school assignments and are becoming emotionally detached. I feel they need a more family oriented atmosphere where they are monitored, and loved and cared for.
Answer:
I am not licensed in Michigan. Laws regarding custody modification will differ from state to state, so you should also consult an attorney in your state. The best way to get 50/50 custody is to establish a pattern of having the kids 50% of the time. If the kids are spending time with relatives and friends during your ex's time, insist that they stay with you instead. There is no reason for them to be with others when they can be with you. Keep a calendar of the time you have them. The more time you have them the more likely you will be able to modify.
