Child Custody

Protecting What Matters Most—Your Kids

Custody Decisions Are Legal, But They’re Deeply Personal

When custody is on the line, emotions run high—and the legal system doesn’t always feel built for families. Whether you're seeking primary custody, negotiating parenting time, or modifying a past order, we help you prioritize your child’s well-being while protecting your rights as a parent, every step of the way.



Our role is part advocate, part guide. We help clients cut through stress, stay focused on long-term goals, and build legally sound custody plans that actually work in real life. Whether you're co-parenting or facing opposition, we’re here with strategy, strength & perspective that’s grounded in what matters most—your child.

Custody Questions, Answered

Here are answers to the questions we hear most from parents facing custody decisions in Michigan.

  • What’s the difference between legal & physical custody?

    Legal custody is the right to make major decisions for your child. Physical custody refers to where your child lives. Many families share both, but every plan is tailored to the child’s needs.

  • How does the court decide custody?

    Michigan courts look at “the best interest of the child,” which includes stability, relationships, safety & parental involvement. We help you present a clear case that supports those standards.

  • Can I change my custody agreement later?

    Yes—if there’s been a significant change in circumstances. We help you file and support modification requests or respond to changes initiated by the other parent.

  • What if we agree on custody terms?

    That’s a great place to start. We’ll formalize your agreement and ensure it meets legal requirements—reducing future confusion and protecting both parents’ rights.

  • What if the other parent is unsafe or unreliable?

    We take safety concerns seriously. If needed, we can seek restricted parenting time, supervised visits, or full custody—based on clear documentation and legal urgency.
