We Find Amicable Solutions Whenever Possible

As experienced family law attorneys, we know that the process goes much smoother when parties can come to decisions together regarding matters like:

• Child Custody and Visitation- In Michigan, child custody can be legal or physical. “Legal custody” is decision-making power, while “physical custody” determines where the child lives. If your child does not live with you, you can get visitation rights to spend time with them.
• Child Support- Raising a child can be expensive when parents divorce. In some cases, one parent must aid the other financially.
• Spousal Support- The court may determine that one partner must support the other even after the marriage ends. This decision depends on factors like the length of the marriage and past living conditions.
• Division of Property and Debt- Michigan is not a community property state, meaning that property and debt will be divided equitably by the court. This does not mean equally, but fairly.
