Hey!
My friend is facing a custody dispute in Michigan, and we are attempting to learn more about the legal framework of parental rights. In Michigan, how long must a father stay away from his child before he runs the risk of losing his parental rights? What particular legal requirements or circumstances apply in these kinds of situations?
We would appreciate for your advice. 
I’m really sorry your friend is going through this. In Michigan, parental rights are typically protected unless there’s serious neglect, abuse, or long-term absence from the child’s life. There’s no set time limit, but consistent involvement is crucial. Keeping in touch and showing commitment to the child’s well-being can make a big difference.
Hope this helps. Best wishes to your friend.
I think it is 28 or more days
In Michigan, a father may lose parental rights due to abandonment if absent for at least 90 days and fails to provide financial support or maintain contact with the child. Legal advice is recommended for specific cases.
