Child visitation, also known as parenting time, is one of the most important aspects of family law. Consequently, it is also one of the most misunderstood. As a result, laws were developed to assist judges, friend of the court, lawyers and parents. Because it is difficult to establish fair schedules for children when spouses are divorcing.

According to Michigan law, the basic components of parenting time are:

• A child has the right to spend time with both parents. Unless a court determines that parenting time would endanger the child’s physical, mental or emotional health.
• A court order may include reasonable parenting time terms and conditions.
• A parent may ask the court to order special parenting time terms and conditions.

What Happens When One Parent Moves?

In today’s fast-paced world, people are very mobile. At times, parental relocation agreements are needed to balance the needs of the custodial parent to move away and the desire for the noncustodial parent to stay in close contact with the child.

In Michigan, special considerations can be made for:

• Long distance parenting time exchanges
• Telephone, e-mail, text and video contact
• The age of children
• Personal protection orders
