Wondering who gets the engagement ring when the wedding is off? The quick answer is, the engagement ring should be returned. For a longer answer, you can read more here:

In Michigan, if the engagement is called off, the ring should be returned as it was a conditional gift. Fault or blame is not a factor.

Regarding parenting time during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Michigan Supreme Court issued a directive indicating parenting time Orders remain in effect stating:

"The Supreme Court wants to remind parents that all court orders for a child’s custody, parenting time and support are still in force. Only a new court order can change that. Parents should continue to follow their court order.

If future government decisions restrict travel or, if a child’s safety is an issue, parents should work together to keep the child’s access to both parents as close to the normal arrangement as possible. Remember that children might also be nervous about current events and need reassurance from parents. If it is necessary to share parental responsibilities in ways different than the court order provides, parents should cooperate with each other to further the child’s best
interests. If parents are not able to agree between themselves how to do this, their court order continues to control what they should do."

Everyone needs a Will. A lot of people procrastinate. Even me. It took me forever to get to writing this post. But I have a couple of cases going where it would have made a significant difference if a final Will was prepared. Don't put off getting your Last Will. Gives us a call if you have questions, need an estate plan reviewed or need your Will done.

Michigan Wills include formal Wills, holographic Wills, self-proved Wills and statutory Wills. A Trust requires a pourover Will.
