Description

This document provides the framework for determining which state's court should resolve custody/parenting time disputes and further establishes a mechanism for the enforcement of other states' custody and parenting time orders. The Detroit Michigan Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (McCrea) is a legal statute that establishes rules and procedures for determining child custody jurisdiction and enforcing custody orders. The Act's primary objective is to ensure that child custody disputes are resolved in the best interest of the child while avoiding jurisdictional conflicts between different states. Under the Detroit Michigan McCrea, the court's jurisdiction is determined based on various factors, including the child's home state, the child's significant connections with different states, and the child's safety and well-being. The Act provides a clear framework for determining which state has the authority to make initial custody determinations and modify existing custody orders. This Act is based on and aligns with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (McCrea), which is a uniform law that has been adopted by many states to promote uniformity and address interstate child custody disputes. The Detroit Michigan McCrea is essentially the same as the McCrea adopted in other states, including those that have not specifically mentioned "Detroit" in the title. There are no different types or versions of the Detroit Michigan McCrea based on specific regions within the state. However, it is worth noting that different states may have their own versions of the McCrea, so the specific terminology and language used may vary slightly between states. Key concepts and keywords associated with the Detroit Michigan McCrea include "home state," which refers to the state in which the child lived with a parent or person acting as a parent for at least six consecutive months before the commencement of the child custody proceedings; "significant connections," which considers a child's relationships, presence, and attachments to a particular state; "exclusive jurisdiction," meaning that only one state has the authority to make a child custody determination; "modification jurisdiction," which outlines the circumstances under which a state can modify an existing custody order made by another state; and "enforcement of custody orders," which provides mechanisms for ensuring compliance with custody orders across different states. Overall, the Detroit Michigan McCrea provides a comprehensive legal framework to resolve child custody disputes in a fair and consistent manner, safeguarding the best interests of the child while avoiding conflicts arising from jurisdictional issues.
