Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
My wife took our 2 young children out of my house and out of the county I work in on 8/27 and filed for divorce in another county on 9/6. She secretly enrolled my son in a school up there without consulting me, even though he was already enrolled to go to school here. I was devastated. I have seen them a total of 6 days over the past 2 months per the Ex Parte Order, which stuck me with every other weekend. During the workday, I was the breadwinner and she the caregiver. I feel if I had taken her kids away from her I would have been brought back in handcuffs. Was this abandonment? Is there anything I can do to get my kids back, at least 50% physical custody? Is it possible the court could force her to move back to the county I work in, so that my son can go to school here? If they let her and my children remain up there, 50% physical custody would be extremely difficult because I would have commute the extra 2.5 hours per day to work. I've worked there 12.5 years and it would be very difficult job to replace.
