Wixom, MI asked in Child Custody, Child Support and Family Law for Michigan

Q: My husband pays $907 a month in child support. Wife refuses him parenting time. What can we do or can we sign off.

The last order says parenting time is agreed upon. But if they are forced to come over the kids will act out and cause major problems. The children asked us to sign off.

A: Each time his parenting time is refused, he needs to file a complaint with the Friend of the Court. He should also file a motion for an actual parenting time schedule so he knows which days are his. You can't just "sign off" parental rights. This is only done in two circumstances.
