Our experienced divorce lawyers consult with our clients and suggest the best course of action that will provide our clients the transition they desire. We discuss with you your situation and explain your options; we may recommend counseling or mediation when necessary to minimize conflict, especially when children are involved. We handle the following matters:

Child custody and visitation: We can help you devise workable custody and visitation arrangements, offering our advice as to what a court will consider "in the best interests" of your children. Our attorneys are experienced with custody and visitation matters and will evaluate a mothers, fathers, or grandparent's rights to custody of any of children involved in the proceedings. We provide mediation as well as work with county agencies to ensure the best interests of all minor children are maintained.

Child support: We help our clients understand the Michigan statutory factors and discuss the appropriate amount of child support a custodial parent may be likely to receive from a noncustodial parent. We defend and enforce child support orders as appropriate, including litigation to modify a prior court order.

Spousal support: Our divorce attorneys are knowledgeable about the factors that determine spousal support, either during a legal separation or after a divorce.

Property division: Division of marital assets requires an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each case. Our family law attorneys have handled a great number of cases involving marital debt and asset division and we can help you keep what belongs to you and ensure there is an equitable division of the debts from the marriage.

We also handle prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, legal separation, temporary spousal support, advance health care directives, child care issues, and restraining orders.

The goal of our experienced and skilled divorce lawyers is to minimize the stress a divorce places on your family. We work to protect the children from being used as tools to attack the other spouse and vigorously advocate for solutions that both parents can live with.
