GENESEE COUNTY FAMILY LAW CHANGE OF DOMICILE(810 235-1970

GENESEE COUNTY PARENTS WHO SEEK Change of domicile. WHO DO YOU DO IT?

No GENESEE court approval is necessary to make an intrastate change of residence within 100 miles. SEE http://www.attorneybankert.com/


For requests to move interstate or more than 100 miles away, the GENESEE court must determine whether the move has the capacity to improve the quality of life of both the relocating parent and the child;

-the degree to which each parent has complied with the parenting time order, and whether the move is inspired by the relocating parent’s desire to frustrate parenting time;

-the extent to which the parent opposing the move is motivated by a desire to secure financial advantage with respect to the support obligation;

-the degree to which the court is satisfied there will be a realistic opportunity for parenting time and the likelihood that each parent will comply with any modified parenting time order; and
-in cases of intrastate relocation, the presence of domestic violence.

The child should be the primary focus in the court’s deliberations.

Has the husband committed enough fault?

WHAT COULD BE WORSE FOR MR. NODINE? DIVORCE SERVED, DRUG INDICTED , POLITICALLY IMPEACHED AND NAMED ONLY MURDER SUSPECT! BUT HE HAS A FRIEND NAMED “HOSS”.

Terry Bankert a Flint Divorce Lawyer , Http://attorneybankert.com observes it was a bad day for Alabama Mobile County Commissioner Stephen Nodine . Most of us working stiffs , including a divorce attorney,think our world has ended and nobody has it worse than us when we are served divorce papers papers.

IF YOU THOUGHT THE DAY YOU WERE SERVED WITH DIVORCE PAPERS WAS BAD ASK MR. NODINE
! 
SERVED INDICTED IMPEACHED AND NAMED ONLY MURDER SUSPECT
On one Friday he was served divorce papers indicted Friday by a Mobile County Grand Jury on drug charges, impeached and named the only suspect in the murder of his mistress, Angel Downs[see1]
MICHIGAN IS A NO FAULT DIVORCE STATE
To end a valid marriage, there must be a judgment of divorce. In a divorce complaint, the only allegation of the grounds for divorce the statute permits is the no-fault ground, i.e., “there has been a breakdown of the marriage relationship to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed and there remains no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved.” MCL 552.6(1). If the statutory standard is met, the court must enter a judgment of divorce; thus, one party will invariably be able to obtain the divorce even if the other party objects. Grotelueschen v Grotelueschen, 113 Mich App 395, 318 NW2d 227 (1982) (if either party is unwilling to live with the other, the objects of matrimony have been destroyed); Kretzschmar v Kretzschmar, 48 Mich App 279, 210 NW2d 352 (1973) (one party’s assertion of the mere possibility that the marriage can be preserved is not sufficient grounds to deny the divorce). [3]
 
WIFE THINKS THERE MAY BE IRRECONCILEABLE DIFFERENCES
In the divorce papers filed Friday, Kimberlee Nodine cites an "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage" and says any attempts to reconcile would be futile.[1] Do ya think.
WHAT WILL SHE GET WHEN HES IN JAIL?She's seeking custody of their son, $971 per month in child support and $2,500 per month in alimony. Mrs. Nodine also wants to keep the couples house and her 2005 Honda Pilot, but wants Steve to pay the mortgage and car payment. She also wants Steve's pension from Mobile County.[1]
CHILD CUSTODY IN MICHIGAN
A court cannot enter a new custody order or amend an existing order without first determining if there is an established custodial environment. MCL 722.27(1)(c). Whether an established custodial environment exists is a preliminary and essential determination. Ireland v Smith, 214 Mich App 235, 542 NW2d 344 (1995), aff’d, 451 Mich 457, 547 NW2d 686 (1996). The trial court must make clear findings on this issue before deciding custody. Stringer v Vincent, 161 Mich App 429, 411 NW2d 474 (1987). This includes a request for sole custody when the initial order was for joint custody. See Duperon v Duperon, 175 Mich App 77, 437 NW2d 318 (1989); Nielsen v Nielsen, 163 Mich App 430, 415 NW2d 6 (1987). [3]
Once the trial court makes findings on the record on whether an established custodial environment exists and determines the appropriate burden of proof, it must then apply that burden to the best interests factors. Underwood v Underwood, 163 Mich App 383, 414 NW2d 171 (1987).
The best interests of the child are the controlling consideration in custody disputes between parents, between agencies, and between third persons. MCL 722.27a. The best interests factors are set forth at MCL 722.23 (see §3.8). Before granting primary physical custody to a party in a custody determination, the trial court must consider each of the statutory factors and make specific findings on the record. Overall v Overall, 203 Mich App 450, 512 NW2d 851 (1994); Schubring v Schubring, 190 Mich App 468, 476 NW2d 434 (1991); Meyer v Meyer, 153 Mich App 419, 395 NW2d 65 (1986).
The best interests of the child means the sum total of the following 12 factors to be considered, evaluated, and determined by the court:
(a) The love, affection, and other emotional ties existing between the parties involved and the child.
(b) The capacity and disposition of the parties involved to give the child love, affection, and guidance and to continue the education and raising of the child in his or her religion or creed, if any.
(c) The capacity and disposition of the parties involved to provide the child with food, clothing, medical care or other remedial care recognized and permitted under the laws of this state in place of medical care, and other material needs.
(d) The length of time the child has lived in a stable, satisfactory environment, and the desirability of maintaining continuity.
(e) The permanence, as a family unit, of the existing or proposed custodial home or homes.
(f) The moral fitness of the parties involved.
(g) The mental and physical health of the parties involved.
(h) The home, school, and community record of the child.
(i) The reasonable preference of the child, if the court considers the child to be of sufficient age to express preference.
(j) The willingness and ability of each of the parties to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing parent-child relationship between the child and the other parent or the child and the parents.
(k) Domestic violence, regardless of whether the violence was directed against or witnessed by the child.
(l) Any other factor considered by the court to be relevant to a particular child custody dispute. MCL 722.23
 
 
CHILD SUPPORT IN MICHIGAN
Under the SPTEA, support means the court-ordered payment of money for a child, including payment of the medical, dental, and other health care expenses; child care expenses; and educational expenses. MCL 552.602(ee)(i).
According to 2008 MCSF 3.04, every support order must set a family annual ordinary health care expense amount to cover uninsured costs, premiums, and copays for children.
For purposes of setting the support obligation, it is presumed that a specified dollar amount per child per year ($345 in 2008 manual) will be spent on ordinary expenses. This annual amount is apportioned according to the parents’ income, and the payer’s share is paid as part of the regular support payment. The payee must incur this minimum threshold amount before seeking reimbursement for health care expenses from the payer.
However, the payer may seek to have the payee pay his or her apportioned amount of any health care expenses, regardless of whether the threshold amount has been satisfied. Amounts may be added to compensate for other known or predictable expenses, such as orthodontia or special medical needs. Uninsured health care expenses that exceed the ordinary health care expense amount are extraordinary expenses, which are apportioned between the parents based on the medical percentages set in the support order.
 
SPOUSAL SUPPORT IN MICHIGAN
A spousal support award must be just and reasonable under the circumstances of the individual case. MCL 552.23; see Maake v Maake, 200 Mich App 184, 187, 503 NW2d 664 (1993).
Relevant factors in determining whether spousal support should be awarded include the following:
the past relations and the conduct of the parties
the length of the marriage
the ability of the parties to work
the source of and amount of property awarded to the parties
the ages of the parties
the ability of the parties to pay spousal support
the present situation of the parties
the needs of the parties
the health of the parties
the prior standard of living of the parties
whether either party is responsible for the support of others
general principles of equity
Parrish v Parrish, 138 Mich App 546, 554, 361 NW2d 366 (1984).
The court must make findings on each factor that is relevant to the claim before it. Sparks v Sparks, 440 Mich 141, 159, 485 NW2d 893 (1992).
 
ALABAMA SHERIFF “HOSS” SPEAKS OUT
Baldwin County Sheriff Huey "Hoss" Mack said that while Nodine is the only suspect in the Downs [ THE GIRL FRIEND]case at present, that does not mean that there's enough evidence for an arrest. "Just because you're a suspect doesn't mean that you did it," Mack said. [2]
I AM MOST AMAZED THAT MOBILE ALABAMA COUNTY HAS A REAL SHERIFF CALLED “HOSS”

CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT, NAS, MICH APP AND JUSTICE

Flint Divorce Lawyer Terry Bankert discusses Domestic Issues that Could be found in Genesee County Family Court or Your Court:

DID YOU KNOW :... Arrearages and Civil Contempt A system in which child support awards are commonly set beyond the parent's ability to pay, modification procedures are neither realistically available nor likely to address inequities, and retroactive correction is disallowed, inevitably results in the accrual by many parents of large and unpayable arrearages. [3]

DID YOU KNOW… in contempt, the low-income obligor is rarely a candidate for civil incarceration because of the likelihood that he or she is unable to pay the hefty sum represented by the accumulated arrearages, or even a portion thereof that may be set by the court as the purge amount. [3]

DID YOU KNOW... Indigents are especially unlikely to appeal civil contempt orders, given their lack of access to appellate counsel in most states and the brevity of the typical contempt sentence.[3]

DID YOU KNOW ... In civil contempt proceedings, unlike those for criminal contempt, absence of willfulness is treated as a defense, and the initial burden is on the contemnor to plead and present evidence of his or her inability to comply with the order. ... [3]

IF CONTEMPT OF COURT WITH POSSIBLE JAIL CAN FACE A CELEBRITY IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.Born Nasir Jones Rapper Nas was cleared of a civil contempt charge on Monday in connection with his divorce from Kelis. According to a statement from his spokesperson released on Wednesday, "The contempt charges that were filed against Nas earlier this year in conjunction with his ongoing custody battle were thrown out yesterday by Judge David Cunningham III presiding over the case. [4]

Nas has paid all of the child support owed in full. His legal counsel today also settled on additional undisclosed financial terms, which included attorneys' fees and spousal support." The contempt charges were dismissed after Nas paid nearly $50,000 in child support to estranged wife Kelis,[4]

ISSUES DISCUSSED IN THE ARTICLE BELOW: Conviction for failing to pay child support (MCL 750.165); Exclusion of evidence the defendant was unable to pay the court-ordered child support; People v. Adams; Due process; City of Port Huron v. Jenkinson; Whether defendant was entitled to a new trial on the basis her rights under Michigan's Due Process Clause were denied by the trial court's order prohibiting her from presenting inability to pay as a defense; Constitutionality of MCL 750.165; Ineffective assistance of counsel; People v. Mack; Impermissible collateral attack on the underlying support order; People v. Howard; MCL 600.1021; The Support & Parenting Time Enforcement Act (MCL 552.601-.650); MCL 552.16(1); MCL 552.605; MCL 552.603(2); MCR 3.205(C); The actus reus element of the crime; People v. Monaco; Right to present a defense; People v. Kurr; People v. Hayes; People v. Hackett; Relevant evidence (MRE 401); Prosecutorial misconduct; People v. Dobek; People v. Unger; People v. Thomas; People v. Rodriguez; People v. McLaughlin; People v. Watson; "Plain error" review; People v. Brown[1]Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished 4/20/2010)Case Name: People v. (L), No. 290218, Oakland County Circuit Court, LC No. 2008-220669-FHe-Journal Number: 45583Judge(s): Per Curiam - Fitzgerald, Cavanagh, and Davis Concluding the defendant's reliance on Jenkinson was misplaced because unlike the defendant in Jenkinson, she was prosecuted for failing to comply with a court order entered after a judicial determination was made she had the financial means to comply with the court order, the court rejected her claim MCL 750.165 was unconstitutional and affirmed her conviction for failing to pay child support.

MOTHER IN FAMILY COURT WAS ORDERED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT HERE IN CIRCUIT COURT SHE IS BEING PUNISHED FOR NOT PAYINGMother who is the Defendant was ordered to pay her ex-husband (E) child support after their divorce because he was awarded custody of their three minor children. The child support was initially set at $54 a month. Later, husband sought an increase after he learned mother had purchased a home worth about $500,000 by securing 2 mortgages in her name, for $2,000 a month and $1,000 a month, respectively. She also purchased a new vehicle. After hearings on the matter, the FOC recommended income of $5,000 a month be imputed to defendant consistent with her standard of living and her child support obligation be increased to $1,131 a month, retroactive to June 1, 2005. [1]The Oakland County Circuit Court trial court in the child support case adopted the recommendation after holding a hearing. [1]Mothers payment history was very sporadic. She paid nothing in 2006 and $488.85 in 2007. The amount of arrearage as of February 29, 2008 was $40,182.71. [1]

FELONY NON SUPPORTFelony charges for failure to pay child support were filed against her in March 2008. The trial court granted the prosecution's motion in limine to prevent defendant MOTHER from offering any evidence related to her alleged inability to pay the ordered child support. [1]

THE FOC ASSUMED THE ABILITY TO PAYOn appeal, defendant argued, inter alia, she was entitled to a new trial because her rights under Michigan's Due Process Clause were denied by the OAKLAND COUNTY CIRCUIT trial court's order prohibiting her from presenting her inability to pay as a defense. [1]

THE FAMILY COURT SAID SHE COULD PAY IT SHE SHOULD HAVE APPEALED THEREThe court disagreed, concluding unlike the defendant in Jenkinson, the duty imposed on defendant was adjudged possible for her to perform. She was a party to civil proceedings involving the modification of her child support obligation, which gave her ample opportunity to present evidence of her ability or inability to pay an increased amount of child support. [1]

THE FAMILY COURT SAID WITH THESE BILLS YOU CAN PAY MORE SUPPORT.In accordance with the evidence of her standard of living, she was adjudged capable of paying $1,131 in child support a month. "Thus, unlike the defendant in Jenkinson, the State did not impose upon her a duty that was impossible for her to perform." [1]

YOU HAVE TO APPEAL A COURT ORDER IN THE COURT THAT MADE THE ORDER NOT ANOTHER EQUAL OR LESSER COURT.The court concluded her argument was actually an impermissible collateral attack on the underlying support order. Affirmed. [1]Here, defendant was prosecuted for the criminal offense of violating MCL 750.165 whichstates, in pertinent part:(1) If the court orders an individual to pay support for the individual’sformer or current spouse, or for a child of the individual, and the individual doesnot pay the support in the amount or at the time stated in the order, the individualis guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 4 years or by afine of not more than $2,000.00, or both.[1]On September 29, 2008, the prosecution filed a motion in limine seeking to preventdefendant from offering any evidence pertaining to her alleged inability to pay the ordered child support. The prosecution argued that, as this Court held in People v Adams, 262 Mich App 89; 683 NW2d 729 (2004), the failure to pay child support in violation of MCL 750.165 is a strict liability offense; thus, evidence of an alleged inability to pay is immaterial and irrelevant. The trial court agreed and granted the motion in limine, holding that “inability to pay is not a defense. Something should have been raised earlier for a modification, but it wasn’t.” A jury trial began on November 14, 2008, and defendant was convicted as charged.[1]

HIGHLIGHT: Each day in the United States thousands of persons are jailed on charges arising from failure to pay court-ordered child support. Some of them have been convicted of contempt of court, a crime based on willful defiance of the court order. However, most are incarcerated pursuant to the court's civil authority to jail contemnors as a means of coercing compliance with the order. In the case of the civil contemnor, confinement generally occurs without the procedural protections that are available as a matter of right in criminal proceedings. A finding of ability to pay the ordered support is a necessary precedent to both a finding of contempt and the penalty of coercive incarceration. Otherwise, the incarceration can only be characterized as punishment for being poor. Yet many incarcerated child support obligors are indigent, with irregular employment, limited earning potential, no real assets, and questionable ability to pay. A variety of systemic and judicial flaws have coalesced to create a fertile environment for unjustified incarcerations. Prominent among these are serious deficiencies in current civil contempt practice. Restoration of equity and due process to this area will require an array of adjustments in federal and state law, agency practice, and judicial process.[3]

Entering a Flint Divorce judgement

My name is Terry Bankert and I am a Flint Divorce Lawyer.

Every Michigan and Flint divorce judgment, even when the defendant has been defaulted, requires a court hearing at which proofs are taken. Proofs are statements made in court that are recorded.

The comments of at least one party in a Michgian and Flint divorce action—typically but not necessarily the plaintiff—must establish the grounds for divorce and the court’s jurisdiction to enter a Flint divorce judgment. See MCR 3.210(B)(2), (D), 2.517.

In the case of a default judgment, the party moving for entry of judgment must provide the trial court with sufficient evidence to make the necessary findings and conclusions in order to equitably divide the marital property and determine any other issues, such as spousal support and child custody. Koy v Koy, 274 Mich App 653, 735 NW2d 665 (2007); see also Barnes v Jeudevine, 475 Mich 696, 705, 707, 718 NW2d 311 (2006), cert denied, 549 US 1265 (2007).

WHAT DO YOU SAY IN COURT WHEN FINISHING YOUR DIVORCE?

Questions to Witness for Hearing to Enter Judgment of Divorce


Were the allegations contained in the Complaint for Divorce true at the time it was signed? Are they still true now?

DM ( Divorce with Minor Children)—Are all the living minor children, who were adopted, born, or conceived during this marriage, listed in the Judgment?

DO ( Divorce without children)—Are there any living minor children who were adopted, born, or conceived during this marriage?

To the best of your knowledge, [are you pregnant / is your wife pregnant]?

In the Complaint, you stated that there had been a breakdown of the marriage relationship. Are you reasonably certain that this marriage cannot be preserved under the circumstances?

You have signed the proposed Judgment of Divorce. Do you understand the terms? Have you voluntarily approved the proposed Judgment?

Is the marital property being equitably divided between you and your spouse?

Does the proposed default judgment of divorce accurately reflect your and the defendant’s marital property?

Could you briefly explain to the Court why you believe the proposed division of property is equitable under the circumstances of your case?

In cases with children, counsel or unrepresented parties should advise the court as follows:

Have you prepared a Uniform Support Order in this case for child support and/or spousal support?

Have you prepared and filed with the Friend of the Court the Judgment Information Form?


Briefly indicate why the child custody provisions of the proposed default judgment of divorce are in the best interests of your and the other party’s child(ren).

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDERS

 
Temporary restraining orders by Terry Bankert a Flint Divorce Lawyer.

KNOW YOUR CUSTODY,SUPPORT AND DIVORCE RIGHTS. Michigan Divorce Lawyer , Custody and support.

You can limit the actions of your spouse to drain your bank accounts, sell your assets or limit actions concerning your children by causing the court to grant a temporary restraining order.(TRO). Some courts have procedures to cause this.

Requirements for granting a temporary restraining order (TRO):

If you believe and can explain the need to your judge by stating specific facts shown in an affidavit or a verified pleading that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the applicant from the delay required to effect notice, or that notice itself will precipitate adverse action before an order can be entered.

The applicant’s attorney certifies in writing any efforts to give notice and why notice should not be required. For instance the asset may be lost.

A permanent record is made of nonwritten evidence, arguments, or representations supporting the application.

The order must be (1) endorsed with the date and time it is issued, (2) describe the injury and why it is irreparable, and (3) state why the order was granted without notice.

Domestic relations TROs (unlike others) need not expire within a fixed period, and the court need not set a date for further hearing.

Personal dangers are protected against by personal protection orders.

A Family Divorce starts with the filing of divorce legally.But between the man and wife it begins much earlier.A divorce will ultimately be granted under the no fault standard. The first decisions will be when to file, where to file, whether to seek child support, custody ,alimony and other temporary relief.On the filing date one party must have resided in Michigan for at least 180 days and in Genesee County for 10 days immediately before filing.

Residence means the place of a permanent home where the party intends to remain. Residence has the same meaning for county and state purposes.Mere physical presence in the county for 10 days does not establish residence. Lehaman v Lehman, 312 Mich 102, 19 NW2d 502, (1945). Residence means the place of a permanent home where a party intends to remain. Banfield v Banfield, 318 Mich 38.

If both parties live in Michigan the party that files first will establish the case in the county they file in.(venue)A Michigan resident who enters the military does not lose residency status because they are out of state McFadden v McFaddeen 336, Mich 557, 59 NW2d 1 (1953). There are limitations on what may be done while a parent is on active duty.Legal ground for divorce in Michigan is when "There has been a breakdown in the marital relationship to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed and there remains no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved." MCL 552.6The other spouse needs to be notified , called service, and given reasonable opportunity to retain counsel.

Sometimes it takes a while for both parties to accept that they are divorcing.When there are minor children and one of the parents is incarcerated the party starting the divorce must contact the Department of Corrections to confirm the prison number and location of the party and put this in the complaint for divorce.

The caption of the petition or motion must state that a telephonic hearing is required. MCR 2.004(B). The court must issue an order requesting that the Department or facility where the party is located allow the inmate to participate in the proceeding by telephone. County jails are not included in this statute.Most cases involve a series of scheduling and settlement events with the court. There may be a hearing on temporary issues to stabilize the family until a divorce judgement can be entered.

There is a mandatory waiting period of 60 days for families without children and 6 months for families with children. The waiting period is for the benefit of the children. In Genesee County the series of events will begin with a temporary hearing court date to stabilize children and family finances.The court will several months later set a pretrial date to resolve discovery timeliness and narrow the issues followed by a settlement conference with the judge and then trial. The parties may settle at any time.

Friend of the court mediation may be provided for custody and parenting time disputes. The court may at any time refer a contested issue to mediation.Some local judges have an alternative dispute resolution or mediation process that they order their cases to.This is where a third party and attorney or an agency tries to resolve the issues without a trial.

The legal procedure concludes with entry of a judgement of divorced. Most cases get to this point without a trial. There is a great value in the parties settling their own issues of children and finances. Good parenting in divorce includes the ability of the parents to learn ways to negotiate their difference and show children that they are loved and secure.

The final document entered with the court called a judgement of divorce. To finalize the judgement a brief court hearing is required. Consent judgement are routinely approved.No divorce judgement may be entered without a hearing in open court at which proofs are taken.

The testimony of at least one party must establish the statutory grounds for divorce andjurisdiction.In those few cases where a trial is required entry of judgement follows a ruling by the court on the disputed issues.

The parties are divorced when the judgement is signed and filed with the court.
