Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Can a mother keep a child from seeing his father? We were unwed but sign affidavit of parentage, child has fathers last name, father pays medical insurance and was fully involved up until mother kicked him out (with no where to go). We lived together and after uncontrollable events, the mother didn't want father around. Father has filed for joint custody and since the papers were served, the father has been harassed, threatened, and accused of false statements by mother and her family. Now the mother will not let the father spend any time with child. Father and his family were the main support for the child's first year and now can not have contact with child. Is there anything I can do to see my child? Or do I just let her keep him and wait for the court to decide?

Oakland County courts are not tolerant to this kind of game playing by the mother. Your attorney should request an immediate hearing from the judge.

If you don't have an attorney but you want to hire an attorney to help fight for you, please call our main office at 1 866-766-5245. Our Detroit area lawyers have a good track record in the Oakland County Family Court.

You should file the appropriate motion for interim parenting time while this case is pending. She cannot unilaterally cut you out of the child's life. It's time to fight back. I routinely handle these matters with great success. Contact me for more information.
