Child Custody & Parenting Time

Okemos, Michigan Child Custody and Parenting Time Attorney

For many divorcing couples, child custody can be a great source of conflict and great anxiety. People wonder how the divorce will affect their relationships with their children. They worry that they will not be as close as before. They are concerned that the time they spend together will decrease, or that new arrangements will limit their role in their children's lives. At the Lansing, Michigan, law office of Mike O'Briant, I minimize this conflict and worry by helping clients create agreements about parenting time that really work for families.

How will Michigan child custody law affect my family?

Many parents wonder how Michigan child custody law will affect them. I strive to help divorcing parents with all child custody and child support-related concerns. Whether you are seeking separate physical custody of your children or have questions about visitation, I will work with you to help you understand Michigan child custody law. In custody issues, Michigan courts follow "the best interest of the child" principle. In general, this has led to joint (shared) physical custody becoming the most preferred option by the courts.

How can lawyer Mike O'Briant help?

During the 20 years I have spent as an attorney, I have gained a great deal of experience with all aspects of Michigan child custody and visitation law. I have served as a "Friend of the Court" in many custody disputes. During the course of that job, I established strong working relationships with my peers and members of the judiciary in this area. My experience and relationships are a great asset to my clients.
