When we had problems with ROFR in Michigan, our attorned clarified to BM and her attorney that ROFR applies only in situations where CP has to HIRE day care for a period greater than 4 hours. Our attorney said that is the intent of ROFR in Michigan, not that you have to call NCP every time you are running to the mall, or so on. Therefore, ROFR did not apply if ss stayed with me (SM) or grandparents or aunt for more than 4 hours. I'm not sure if your ROFR is stated differently, but most Michigan FOC guidelines state it as hiring daycare for more than 4 hours.
