While “family” brings warm images to mind, sadly, “family law” is often highly charged with frustrating emotions. Our lawyers understand that divorce, custody disputes, property settlements, parenting time arrangements and child support determinations require not just legal expertise, but a combined measure of both nerve and compassion.
Our practice encompasses the full range of family law:
Pre-Nuptial Agreements: Often, the best way to solve a dispute is to prevent it from happening. Pre-Nuptial agreements, while perhaps considered “unromantic,” offer newlyweds peace of mind, particularly for second or subsequent marriages. These contracts can help ensure fair distribution of assets and protection for children from previous relationships without the acrimony and expense of litigation.
Divorce: Unfortunately, when people think of “family law,” they think of “divorce.” The harsh reality, however, is that in our society, many marriages end prematurely. If you are contemplating filing for divorce, or are being divorced by your spouse, we will assist you through this unhappy event with sympathy and professionalism. We will fight for you when it is needed, but our attorneys recognize that negotiation and compromise are often the favored tools for the best, most fair result.
Paternity: Not all children are born to marriage. If you are seeking confirmation of a child’s paternal relation, we can guide you through the legal steps needed to resolve your situation as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Custody and Parenting Time Issues: Situations change. Job relocation, mental health issues, new relationships, substance abuse problems and other factors can all turn a once positive arrangement into a nightmare for children. If you feel that a change in custody or parenting time is needed to protect your children, we will champion your cause. Conversely, if you are being unfairly denied custody rights or parenting time, we will rapidly seek to remedy your situation.
Child Support Determination: Whether you are not receiving enough or paying too much, we can help you navigate through the bureaucracy involved to reach a fair economic result.
“Father’s Rights”: We are not a “Father’s Rights” firm because we believe in representing our clients, not a gender. However, we sincerely recognize that children need both of their parents. Whether you are a man or woman, we will zealously represent you and seek to obtain the most fair and harmonious resolution for you and your family.
Miscellaneous Post-Judgment Issues: Sometimes prodding is needed to remind a party of their obligations from a legal judgment. We can help you use the court system to speed up enforcement of court orders.
“Alternative” Family Law: This is an often nebulous area in Michigan law, but if your family does not fall within the confines of the traditional “nuclear” family, we can still offer sound advice and assist you in using your available legal tools.
