I am available to discuss your legal issue. Who has custody of the minor child?

What you would need to do would be petition the Court which ordered your current custodial arrangement for a change that would allow your daughter to move to Michigan. You will need to prove several things, although as a Michigan attorney I can only speculate as to what that is. Overall, you will need to show that it is in the best interest of your daughter to move to Michigan, and her choice should be taken into consideration in making that decision.

It depends on the court order, if any, in place and its relationship to custody and parenting time. You will need to see an attorney, and litigate the matter in Wisconsin if there is a court already involved there.
