Michigan Custody Laws for Unmarried Parents There are exceptions to this rule in cases where the court already made a prior custody ruling, but for the most part, by default, child custody is presumed to be with the mother in the absence of a marriage or previous legal agreement.

Even if a parent doesn't have primary physical custody of a child, they are still required to contribute to the support of that child even if the custodial parent has sufficient income to meet the needs of the child without financial assistance.

If it has been less than 36 months since the last court order review, either parent may file a court motion to change the child support order. Note: There may be a fee associated with filing a court motion - check with your local court.
