Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
I have been with my current partner for 6 years. We have a child together, who is now 2 years and 4 months old. Recently I discovered that she has been cheating on me with her co-worker. She is a waitress, with a yearly pay of anout $9,000, and I am a State Employee with an income of about $50,000 a year in the state of MI. She is stating that she will fight me for visitation of my son if I attempt to leave. I woudl like to see my son as much as possible. She was married before, and has a child from that marriage as well. She sees that child only every other weekend due to signing that away. She may also have a warrant out for her arrest due to a domestic distrubance with a partner she had in between her marriage and our relationship. I would like the situation to be that I have majority custody of our son. She tells me this will never happen because the state always favors the mother. What should my next step be?

How about seeing a good lawyer.
Hire an experienced family law attorney. It's very tough to get beyond 50-50 parenting time because that's the base line in Michigan.
