Mediate Michigan

Michigan ranks at the top of the list of states hardest hit by the recession. With the ailing housing market and high unemployment rates, some are finding it desirable if not necessary to leave the state and start fresh somewhere else.

While the majority of people can simply pack up their bags and leave, this is not the case for parents who are separated or divorced and share custody of their children. In these situations, the relocating parent may need to obtain the other parent’s permission to move, and is almost always required to secure court approval. Whether this process will be simple or difficult depends largely on the type of custody arrangement the parent wishing to relocate has and the reasons motivating the move.
