    S10 Ep06: Who Gets Kids On Holidays While Divorce Is Going On?

    #ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts often move away from traditional family holiday routines during a divorce to establish a new, shared schedule that is equitable for both parents. The court's primary focus remains on the best interests of the children, ensuring both families remain involved in special moments through court-ordered modifications. • It is a misconception to assume that pre-divorce holiday traditions will automatically stay the same once the legal process begins. • Courts frequently impose new schedules that require holidays to be shared or alternated between parents to ensure fairness. • Common arrangements include rotating major holidays every other year or splitting specific days like Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. • Holiday schedules are designed to be practical, potentially changing travel plans to locations like Arizona or Florida based on the new order. • The ultimate goal of the court is to protect the children's best interests by maintaining their connection to both parents during significant times.

    S10 Ep05: What If My Spouse Opens Accounts After Filing for Divorce?

    #ChooseGoldman Opening new bank accounts to hide money during a divorce is considered financial misconduct and can lead to severe legal penalties. Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts require full transparency and will use tools like subpoenas to track any income redirected away from marital accounts. • Hiding marital assets in new accounts is viewed as an illegal attempt to misrepresent your finances to the court. • All financial transactions leave a trail, and attorneys can subpoena employers to find where direct deposits have been redirected. • The court may impose significant penalties on parties who attempt to bypass an equitable division of property. • Any new accounts opened for post-separation expenses must be fully disclosed to the other party to remain above board. • Judges may shift the property division in favor of the honest spouse if deliberate asset concealment is discovered. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation:  https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/EIshYKiYk6U For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-divorce-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.

    S10 Ep04: Can My Ex Force Me to Sell My Business?

    #ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that a business started during a marriage is typically considered a marital asset regardless of its independent corporate status. Michigan courts utilize professional evaluations to determine the true investment value of a business, which often leads to buyout negotiations during the divorce process. • A business is presumed to be a marital asset if it was established during the course of the marriage. • Independent legal structures like Corporations or LLCs do not exempt a business from being divided as a marital asset. • Courts perform professional evaluations to determine the true value of a business based on its income-generating potential. • The valuation often compares the business to the amount of investment capital needed to generate equivalent annual income. • Business owners who wish to retain their company must typically prepare for buyout negotiations or asset trades. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/iUqfuMU9bUg For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-divorce-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.

    S10 Ep03: How Do Judges Spot a Lying Parent?

    #ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains how Michigan judges identify dishonest testimony by comparing a parent's words to physical evidence and documentation. This episode highlights why maintaining consistency and credibility is essential for a successful outcome in family court. • Judges are highly experienced at evaluating witness credibility and can spot inconsistencies almost immediately. • While most people are truthful in daily life, the pressure of a courtroom often leads to an increase in dishonest statements. • The court looks for a direct match between oral testimony and documents like text messages, emails, and schedules. • Even small errors in detail can establish a pattern that suggests a parent lacks overall honesty and credibility. • A judge may issue a formal "finding of fact" stating that a parent's testimony cannot be trusted, which severely damages their case.

    S10 Ep02: Can a Judge Change Custody Without a Hearing?

    #ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts have the power to change custody immediately through ex parte orders to protect a child's stability. If a parent violates a court order by withholding a child, a judge can react instantly to rectify the situation before a formal hearing occurs. • Judges can change custody arrangements very quickly, sometimes before the parties ever step into a courtroom. • The court uses temporary ex parte orders to address emergency situations and protect the child's safety. • Withholding a child in violation of an order is a serious mistake that can lead to an immediate loss of custody. • While due process is required, a full hearing is typically set up after the court has already acted on an emergency basis. • Parents should always abide by current court orders and file formal motions to request changes rather than taking matters into their own hands.

    S10 Ep01: Can a Parent Secretly Record a Child to Use in Court?

    #ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that secretly recording your child can severely backfire in a custody case, as Michigan courts often view such actions as exploitative rather than helpful. While some parents believe these recordings provide essential evidence, they frequently damage the parent's credibility and the overall best interests of the child. • Secretly recording a child often hurts a legal case more than it helps by making the parent appear manipulative. • Michigan courts prioritize the "best interests of the child" and may view surreptitious recording as an exploitative activity. • Even if a recording is technically legal under state law, it often faces significant resistance from judges regarding its admissibility. • Engaging in secret recordings can cause a parent to lose points and credibility during custody evaluations. • Judges may view the act of recording as harmful to the child's emotional well-being and the parent-child relationship. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/x5L1MiQLusc For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.

    S9 Ep100: Can You Refuse to Communicate With Your Ex?

    #ChooseGoldman Choosing to stop all communication with a co-parent can lead to severe legal consequences and the potential loss of your custodial rights. Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts expect a good-faith effort to engage, and a total refusal to communicate may force the court to grant sole custody to the other parent. • Refusing to communicate is often viewed by the court as a violation of mandatory co-parenting requirements. • Failing to discuss parenting time can be used as grounds for the other parent to petition for full custody. • Courts expect professional conduct even in toxic situations involving narcissism or high-conflict personalities. • Specialized apps and intermediaries can be used to maintain a professional record of all interactions and misconduct. • If a joint custody arrangement fails due to one party's silence, the court may be left with no choice but to award sole custody to the other parent. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/J6ovw9Ub9hI For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.

    S9 Ep99: Can A DUI Cost You Custody?

    #ChooseGoldman A DUI or alcohol-related offense can significantly impact child custody depending on whether the child was present and if the incident reflects a chronic problem. Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts prioritize the "best interest of the child" when determining how a parent's legal history affects their custodial rights. • The presence of a child in the car during a DUI is a critical factor that often signals a danger to their safety. • Michigan courts distinguish between a parent's private drinking habits and those that expose a child to immediate risk. • A mandatory substance abuse evaluation is typically used to determine if a DUI is an isolated event or part of a pattern. • Excessive alcohol use may be viewed as a "moral fitness" issue, though this perspective varies among individual judges. • DUI-related license restrictions can practically limit a parent's ability to fulfill their duties as a custodial parent. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/OMr2AkAJgAk Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
