What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan


You are always quoting me with links to Michigan pages. Either you live in MI too, or you have super human googling powers. Either way, I was hoping you could help me.

I was wondering if there was a site for Michigan for reporting. Reporting fraud, or abuse, or that type of thing. This is not for my personal use.

Thanks.

It's superhuman googling a abilities.

Actually, it's not even superhuman abilities. It's just hitting enough keys enough times and reading the results until you find what you are looking for

Well I like to think I have super human powers. But if you look at the right top of my posts under location, it does say Michigan, so yes I am in Mi, lived her my entire life.

Much depends on the fraud or abuse. Lots of different places to report stuff, it just depends on what it exactly is. If your for sure that the reporting is for a Mi government, then the best site to locate info is

http://michigan.gov/
Has lots of info, lots of links, and every link to Michigan departments on it. It takes time though to search around just that one site.

You know any links to forms where I could find a petition for emergency custody? I've been up and down the mi gov website and all over google. I can find the objection to it, but the form to file for it.

Nope, don't believe there are any online. I've seen different forms used for this, just depends on the court. In my court, you fill out a motion on custody and you have to go down to the county clerk's office and file it in person, you notify them that you want an ex parte hearing. They take the form to a Judge(not always your Judge)who looks it over and decides if the matters needs an emergency hearing. In a different court then mine, they had an actual form that said ex parte motion, but once you filled it out and handed it into the clerk, they again took that form to a Judge to decide if the matter needed an emergency hearing.

Be prepared because I have seen them hold the hearing same day you file, if they feel it is an emergency. If they feel it is not an emergency then the form is filed and they give you a court date. Time frame for non emergency hearing just depends on the court. You then follow the courts procedure on notifying the other parent.

Emergency hearings are very hard to come by though. One reason is many Mi courts move fast to begin with, so they find little that is a true emergency. Sometimes you really have to push to get them to have a Judge look at it, they often tell you right out you won't get an emergency hearing. However be nice, patient with them and push that you would like it considered by a Judge anyways.

The only time I have seen them do an emergency hearing, is when there is abuse and proof of that abuse or when one party does not return the child to the CP. I've seen a few when the CP went to jail and the NCP filed for custody, but even then they don't often see that as an emergency, specially if the child/children are with a 3rd party relative.

You can call FOC or the county clerk's office of the court that the case is in and ask if that court has a specific ex parte form or if motion on custody form is what you need. This would not be considered legal advice, they are allowed to tell you what form to use, but often you have to push this to.

Again, I would like to thank you for such awesome advice. I did call the county court house and they told me to write Ex Parte above where it says "Motion to..." I really appreciate your help. Though, after reading your answer, I'm not sure the court will view our situation as an "emergency".
My ex was living with friends, claims my son is and was living there with her, but their house just burnt down and they are living in a motel room with one bed, 3 adults and 4 children.

I've tried asking her to let me take him until she gets on her feet, but she refuses. She's also admitted that the reason I can't have him is because she won't get benefits from the state without him.

Roof over their head and food in their belly. You would be hard pressed to get this ex parte.

I'm the only one here with 2 ex parte motions that were successful - both with an attorney and because my X didn't return the child.

Do you know what the form would be to file contempt for denial of visitation? Would I file a complaint or something else? I'm looking on the michgan website, but I'm not 100% on what I should be looking for. I'm kinda skimming through everything.

NEVERMIND!! Found it! :D

You can save yourself some money and just go through FOC on contempt. You need to write the complaint, and get it to FOC often you can fax that over to them or you can email it to them. You can call your caseworker and find out. FOC enforces your order, that is part of their job and it costs you nothing. On top of that many of the courts now are assigning fees when someone is in contempt. So your x if found in contempt could have to pay a fee for it.

That's exactly what I did. My wife is going to fax the complaint from her office on Monday. I really don't know what they will do since she does have a pending sentence from the last contempt she was charged with. But that was so long ago I really don't know if they will honor it.
Plus, she still has not changed her address with the court. She still does not know about the court date in Sept. So they will likely send the letter about the contempt hearing to her old address and she wont get it and wont show up. I think that is an automatic warrant. Forgive me for not being a stand up guy, but I'm not saying a ****ing word to her about it.
