Michigan allows Grandparents to get a court order for grandparenting time
in some situations. The parents must not object and typically this situation
arises when there are issues of fitness of the parents. Drug use, abuse,
neglect and many other real life issues lead to these situations where
Grandparents are effectively raising the child in real life. If you need
assistance with an issue like this then call me.
