Michigan Child Custody Factors - How Is Child Custody Decided In Michigan?

When parents are in agreement, custody terms can be established through a parenting agreement or mediation. However, if custody is contested, a child custody order from a Michigan judge is necessary. The judge's aim is to determine custody that is in the "best interests of the child." Michigan courts consider various factors when deciding child custody, including those outlined in the state's statutes. These factors, considerations, and presumptions guide the court in making custody decisions.
