Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Can he steal my son during a visit?
My husband and I were married in Colorado in 2007. Since he had abandoned me while 7 months pregnant, gotten kicked out of the army, and has paid no support to me or my son. I moved back home to Michigan since abandonment & he has moved back home to Alabama since military discharge. My son was born in Michigan in May of 2008. Now my husband wants to reconcile, and wants my son & myself to visit him in Alabama to try to salvage our marriage & to finally meet him.
My concern is that he will try to take my son away from me while we are visiting...not that I necessarily believe he would do that, but I didn't believe he would ever abandon me either. You just never know.
It's the whole 'possession is 9/10ths of the law' kind of deal. I don't want him to have possession of our son while we are visiting, and then be able to keep him down there.
Is there any way I can get temporary custody for the visit, so that if he does try this, I have something to back me up so I can have my son back and take him home to Michigan?

If you don't already have custody established you should do so before having any sort of visit.
