Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
My name is jamie. I have a 3 year old son with my husband. Well I'm wanting to separate from my husband and leave with our son. Cause he is abusive to me every now and then. I just can't take it anymore and plus we just aren't working out. Well he won't let me leave or my son leave. I told him a lie that I would sign a paper saying I have to have a job and my own place in two months, if not he could have our son ( I only said that so he would let me leave and my son leave with me). But even though I didn't mean it could it still be held up in court if he did decide to take me to court. Thank you.

Any such statements or agreements you made, whether verbally or in writing, are not binding. The court will look at the best interests of the child using numerous factors in the child custody act to determine custody and parenting time.
