Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Parental Termination
If allegations of sexual abuse of a child are made against a child by a child not in the alleged abuser's home, is it mandatory for the state to never allow the alleged abuser in the home or to have any contact with any children in the home? By any contact I mean phone calls, letters, supervised visitation, seeing a child at all and being forced to terminate parental rights even if the child or children never alleged any type of abuse.

Re: Parental Termination
To Whom It May Concern:
This is in response to your email of September 29, 2001, which this office received on November 6, 2001.
Your question is somewhat unclear, I am unsure if the child is the alleged abuser or if there is an adult who is the alleged abuser. If the child is the alleged abuser, a court can prohibit any further contact between the children, although this is not mandatory. If the parent refuses to obey the court�s order, the court can determine that the parent has put the child at risk, which could eventually lead to the termination of parental rights.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact Nichols & Eberth, P.C. at (313) 561-5700.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Eberth
