Asked on Aug 31st, 2011 on Family Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
I am beginning to take steps to file for divorce in the state of Michigan. We have a minor daughter together, and I would like to move her and I out of the state so I can get support from family and go back to school. My husband does not want me to, but I am willing to share custody and do what it takes to make this happen. What steps do I need to take to make sure I can move out of state with my daughter?

You will need to address the issue during your divorce and unless the court allows you to move the child with you, the child will have to remain in MI. The reasons you stated in your question are not enough on their own to convince a court to allow the move. There are specific statutory requirements for a court to rule in your favor. This response is general in nature and is not legal advice. No atty client relationship is formed by it.
