A: In Michigan, child custody arrangements are typically determined based on the best interests of the children. If your ex-wife had legal custody of your children and has passed away, her parents may have taken temporary physical custody. However, as the biological parent, you may have rights to seek custody or visitation depending on various factors, such as your ability to provide a stable and safe environment for the children.
