Will I only see my kids every other weekend if I get charged with DV in Michigan?

If you're charged with domestic violence in Michigan, the charge alone with no impact your ability to see your children as much as you were seeing them before the incident.  Now, if the other parent files for divorce or a custody proceeding against you then a determination will be made on parenting time of the children.  The big key in Michigan for parenting time is number of overnights, which is how days are determined.  

All parenting time agreements are subject to negotiation between the parties, and very rarely do cases go to trial for a judge to determine the parenting time.  It just so happens that many dads assume if they are taken away from their family that they will only see their kids every other weekend.  Any dad who has that arrangement, there is a 99 percent chance they agreed to that as part of an agreement.  It's my experience that modern day judges value dad's presence even more in their kid's life, and it's in the best interest of the kids to see dad more and more.  Don't settle for every other weekend, and you'll do a lot better. 

With a DV charge which a custody or divorce proceeding follows, a judge may order temporary parenting time during the case, and with a pending DV charge, the parenting time may be supervised, but any final result is likely to be agreed upon rather than to be ruled on by a judge. So a DV charge has the ability to have a temporary impact on seeing your kids in very specific cases, but no long-term determined outcome; you have the power to determine how much you see your kids, and judges favor more vs less.
