Divorce is never easy—especially when children are involved. One of the most emotionally charged and legally complex aspects of divorce in Michigan is child custody. Whether you're married or unmarried, living in Macomb, Oakland, or Wayne County, understanding how child custody decisions are made can help you prepare for the road ahead.

Few issues are more emotionally charged during a divorce than child custody. Unlike property or finances, children cannot be divided — and the court’s primary concern is always the best interests of the child. If you're facing a custody battle in Michigan, it’s essential to understand how child custody works and what your options are when it comes to joint custody and sole custody.

Divorce isn’t just the end of a marriage—it can be the beginning of a legal battle over your children, property, finances, and emotional well-being. While some divorces remain civil and cooperative, many turn bitter fast. If you sense your divorce may become contentious, the best thing you can do is prepare for the worst—starting now.
