If you cannot come to some sort of agreement with your mom, then you can petition the probate court. There is a preference in Michigan to place children with their biological parents unless there is some compelling reason not to do so. The fact that the children have been living with you suggests that the need for temporary guardianship has passed.
Please note that if the children are 14 years old or older, they can also sign the petition. While this does not guarantee the court will approve the changes, it has been my experience that it generally is helpful. The court MAY appoint a Guardian ad litem to meet with and interview the parties and make a report back to the judge. Best of luck to you! James Frederick |
