There are many issues that the court takes into consideration when determining child custody. Broadly, the best interests of the child (as defined in the Michigan Child Custody Act) are the primary concern. The courts consider 12 factors in reaching custody decisions. The established custodial environment is usually altered by the courts only when there has been a significant change in circumstances.
