I need to know what rights I have to info about an investigation after I'm no longer answering questions

The short answer is probably not. There are variables. The police may have handed the information over to the county prosecutor, or may still be investigating, or may have given up and closed the matter. They may tell you if you ask them, but they do not have to. It might help to retain an attorney, on a pre-charge basis to act as an intermediary between you and the police/prosecution. I would be happy to discuss this matter with you further if you have further questions.

What is the possibility of being released from probation early?

If you are finished with an assessment and any required programming or courses, it is possible. Pay all of your fines, then request early release from your probation agent. Our local judges are unlikely to permit it, if your agent disagrees. Good luck.

Can I be arrested?

It really depends on what the police have been told, or otherwise have learned and believe. If you were not involved, and had no knowledge of the crime, unless someone has falsely incriminated you, you ought to be safe. Knowledge of the crime, and passive consent, or use of the stolen goods could be a seperate criminal activity.

Divorce

It may be decided by the parties by agreement, or if there is a serious dispute, a court may be asked to decide the issue while the case is pending. Some parties live together while the matter is pending. It really depends on the circumstances. If you have serious safety concerns about living together, a court is more likely to get involved before a final hearing. Feel free to contact me if you need more assistance. I do provide a free initial consultation.

Procedure under MI family law to stop parent from taking child to another state, uniform parentage act petition

These are complicated matters. You are entitled to hearing on this issue, and the mother will need to prove the move has the capacity to improve the life of the child. I strongly suggest you find a way to retain an attorney.

Why should he pay when he has the child 95%-98% of the time?

It sounds like your friend is paying more support than he ought to, but the order for custody/parenting time does not reflect what is really happening. It also seems like the Judge did not believe your friend's testimony. He may need better evidence of what is actually happening. This could be developed with help from a lawyer. I would be happy to talk with him about this, and I do offer a free initial consultation.

Practice

Not without being licensed in WI, or receiving special permission from a judge on a particular case.
