You might wonder how clients with disabilities impact his/her ability to get divorce or custody. Moreover, one might also ask regarding up to what degree can either the condition be a privilege or disadvantage. Just because a client has a disability, your divorce or custody case will not be treated any differently. You should be aware of this because of federal regulations that prohibit discrimination or biases based solely on the fact that someone has a disability.
No exemption or unjust privileges
As it was mentioned that there is no exemption or unjust privileges following that of you or your partner are either or both having disability. You have the same right and the responsibility to go before the court and ask for a divorce following due process. You should either request the preservation of your marital rights/ support (alimony) or whatever terms that is acceptable and just.
Taking Custody of a Child in Michigan
As for taking custody of a child, the court believes and orders a resolution favoring what is the appropriate custody. Still, being in a state of disability does not mean advantage nor reason to lose custody. For example, it is in the best interests of the minor child to give you full custody or to share custody with you. The court can allow it and neither of the parties can question the decision.
You can be favored whether or not you have a disability.
This is true. However, if the court believes that you are unable to satisfy the needs of the child due to your impairment, the court has certain discretion and can impose specific precautions to ensure the kid’s safety. It’s important to remember that in a custody dispute, it’s not so much about satisfying the needs of the parents as it is about addressing what’s best for the young child.
