Michigan divorce - child custody.


Sole or joint custody is awarded based on the best interests of the child and on the following factors:
 
(1) moral character and prudence of the parents; (2) physical, emotional, mental, religious, and social needs of the child; (3) capability and desire of each parent to meet the child's emotional, educational, and other needs; (4) preference of the child, if the child is of sufficient age and capacity; (5) the love and affection and other emotional ties existing between the child and each parent; (6) the length of time the child has lived in a stable, satisfactory environment and the desirability of maintaining continuity; (7) the desire and ability of each parent to allow an open and loving frequent relationship between the child and the other parent; (8) the child's adjustment to his or her home, school, and community; (9) the mental and physical health of all individuals involved; (10) the permanence as a family unit of the proposed custodial home or homes; and (11) any other factors.
 
If joint custody is an issue, the court will consider all of the above factors and the following additional factors: (1) whether the parents will be able to cooperate and generally agree concerning important decisions affecting the welfare of the child and (2) if the parents agree on joint custody. [Michigan Compiled Laws Annotated; Sections 552.16, 722.23, and 722.26a].
