Hey there.. The father of our son whom is in prison will constantly threaten to evict our son and I out. He is in prison for 3-15 years. It would also be helpful for the steps I'd have to go through.

Is there a current custody case? Best steps would be to file a motion seeking the court's permission.

Civil attorneys are hard to find. Where can I find one in detroit metro, michigan.

A majority of lawyers are no different than doctors, accountants, or other licensed professionals. They are in business for profit. Fortunately, there are resources through the Michigan State Bar Association for a referral to an attorney or legal aid society who may be able to assist at a... View More
How do I find an attorney more interested in law than collections?
answered on Aug 3, 2022
The short answer is that you're biased...and it's perfectly normal to be biased to your own matters.
I assume you are not an attorney. You're looking at the matter like any other person would: "I feel like I was wronged in some way, shape, or form". An attorney... View More

Most often, it would be to the parent with primary custody / recipient of child support, in lieu of a calculated support amount.

Can they be found? I'm no expert in crypto so I don't know. The opposing party's attorney, through appropriate discovery demands, could establish that you have or should have a certain dollar amount in assets, whether they are in crypto or not.

My stepson was kicked out by his mother. He now lives with his grandma and he is 17. His mom didn't notify friend of the court about this information, and my husband is still having child support removed from his paycheck. Is it illegal for her to collect this money when he isn't living... View More

Child support is for the child, but I can appreciate the frustration. What matters, though, is that the child is not living with you and your husband right now. Should the grandma obtained guardianship, for instance, your husband would still have a child support obligation.
I already know about participant exclusion to mutual consent rule in michigan. Just wanted to know if you can use these in a family court case, or other court case.

Possibly. But know that a lot of judges do not look favorably upon such recordings or unwarranted use of private investigators.
If a CPS investigation is open due to “failure to protect” from an ex-husband who tried to kill his wife and the children currently reside in foster care, can CPS legally draw out a case by making demands such as securing a car or a home without any government assistance, such as food benefits,...

There's a lot more to these situations than what "the law" says. If there is a reason found under the child protection act or juvenile code to remove a child and initiate termination proceedings, then the struggle becomes compliance with the treatment plan for reunification. There... View More
Return to their parents and does my friend have any legal rights to visitation with his grandchildren since he was their primary caregiver for most of their life?
answered on Jul 18, 2022
Likely no. He may have a legitimate claim to grandparenting rights, but that is something he would need to initiate.

There is so much that can be going on with a child custody situation like this that it's really impossible for anyone to give you solid advice without knowledge of all the facts. The police are often reluctant to deal with what can be considered "civil / family" matters. Once the... View More

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

You're not going to get very far arguing you were tricked. You now need to focus on whether there is a legal change of circumstance or proper cause for the court to reconsider custody, and what are the best interest of the child factors.
Aunt got guardian in MI do I have to go there and get my suspended removed and rights as there mother or can I do all this where I live in KY

If the case is in Michigan then you would need to petition to terminate the guardianship here in Michigan or with a Michigan attorney.
It is extreme mental emotional and phycological abuse, as well as neglect.
answered on May 23, 2022
Good question and reasonable logic. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Child support is calculated using a formula that factors the disparity of income between the parents among other things. Even with joint custody, one parent is likely to pay the other parent some child support.
answered on May 16, 2022
You potentially have an uphill battle. You need to show a change of circumstance or proper cause. You can move to PR, but it's likely going to come at the expense of Mom gaining primary custody, and you having parenting time in summers and major school breaks.

First thing is that you would need to establish his paternity. Until then, he is, as you expressed, just a stranger to the child with no legal right whatsoever, except what you've been allowing for.

Is there a father in the picture? If so, he will have priority over you if he is willing and able. If mom and baby are in New Jersey, than you all will need to deal with this there.
