Madison Heights, MI asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Michigan

Q: How can I limit the time my daughter is forced to spend with her when it is my ex's visitation that he isn't even using?

My ex leaves our daughter with his mother 90 percent of the limited time he has visitation. My daughter is terrified of her grandmother. The last exchange of her, the grandmother was in a minor car accident and my daughter was beyond scared because she was screaming at her and cussing at me on the phone. The grandmother caused a scene once I arrived to pick up my daughter, in front of the state police. The grandmother has broken many clauses of our custody order, and talks very poorly of my daughter within earshot of her and speaks nasty of me.

A: You can file a motion regarding parenting time, citing what you just stated here. Specifically, that he doesn't use his parenting time, shifting everything to his mother. I would help to get a copy of that police report from the state police incident.
