Dad Wants to See His Daughter and Is Willing to Participate in Counseling and Supervision

This is a court hearing regarding a motion for change of venue and a motion for change in custody in a divorce case. Here's a breakdown of the key points:

Case Details:

Parties: Justin Nichols (Plaintiff) and Layer Nichols (Defendant)
Date: October 23, 2023
Issue: Custody and parenting time of their child, born September 19th, 2023
Motion for Change of Venue:

Defendant's Argument: The child resided with the mother in Tuscola County at the time the complaint was filed, and the mother has no intention of returning to Calhoun County.
Plaintiff's Argument: The child's residence was Calhoun County before the mother left with the child. The defendant filed in Tuscola County as a form of forum shopping.

Motion for Change in Custody:

Defendant's Argument: The plaintiff has a history of abuse, and supervised parenting time should be with a professional, not the plaintiff's father.
Plaintiff's Argument: He wants to see his daughter and is willing to participate in counseling and supervision. He has already undergone a psychological evaluation.

The court prioritized the plaintiff's right to see his daughter and considered the child's best interests in determining custody arrangements.
The court addressed the defendant's concerns regarding the plaintiff's history of abuse by requiring supervised parenting time, but deemed the father a suitable supervisor.
The court acknowledged the defendant's change of residence but determined that Calhoun County remained the proper venue based on the plaintiff's earlier filing and the child's previous residency.
Next Steps:

The parties will exchange income information for child support calculations.
The plaintiff will prepare and submit the court order regarding parenting time.

Child support is money paid by one parent to the other parent for the purpose of providing financial support to a child or children. Most frequently, child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent, but this is not always the case. Depending on where you live and the agreement you reach, the child support you pay or receive and what expenses it should cover will vary.
