What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I'm interested in knowing how the system works for unmarried fathers who are looking to make a custody arrangement. In this case, the father never married the mother, they have a minor child (5 y/0), the mother lives in another state and the child has lived most of his life with his father and currently lives with his father full time but for maybe a week or two visiting his mother.
The mother is trying to have to child move to FL full time so the father can see his son on holidays but given that the child has grown up more with his dad in MI, the dad wants to have joint custody but with physical custody of the child (essentially keep the child going to school as he has been and continue his life in MI).
They have no legal arrangements in place so far.
Any advice/information??
Thanks
