Howell, MI asked in Child Custody and Family Law for Michigan

Q: Can someone with 50/50 custody make exchanges at the police station due to safety concerns?

My boyfriend has 50/50 legal and physical custody. Last time we picked up his daughter they sent a threatening message about calling the cops over my driving. Though we did not do anything wrong. My boyfriend feels unsafe and bad for his daughter and wants exchanges to take place at a police station instead. We are aware we have to submit a motion to get this put in place, but can he tell the other parent he’ll only exchange at the police station regardless?

A: He can. The parents can always agree on an exchange point; if no agreement, then whatever is in the order stands.
