- Family law: We help clients focus on reaching their goals in many areas of family law, including divorce, premarital/prenuptial agreements, adoption and estate planning.
- Custody: Child custody involves physical custody (where the children live) and legal custody (who makes decisions regarding the children's health, education and welfare). Our attorneys protect the rights of parents and the best interests of the children in these matters.
- Support: A Michigan divorce lawyer from the firm can ensure a fair determination of child support is calculated. Factors that are included in the mandatory formula include the gross income of each parent and each parent's number of overnights.
- Mothers' rights and fathers' rights: We receive many referral clients in this area of practice, particularly from fathers we have helped in the past. If you are a parent who is concerned about child custody, talk to our lawyers.
- Division of assets: Property, assets and debts in a Michigan divorce will be divided equitably. Factors that are considered in the division include marital property, separate property, length of the marriage, value of assets, value of the home, inheritance during the marriage, premarital property, child support and spousal support.
- Change of domicile: In Michigan, parents cannot move more than 100 miles from their current location without the court's permission. If you need to relocate with your children due to a job or other factor, our attorneys can help. The firm also represents those parents who oppose a change of domicile.
- Parenting time: We strive for healthy parenting time that allows each parent to spend quality time with the children. We also encourage parents to be as amicable as possible toward the other parent. However, if there is a reason for one parent to have limited time, we will fight for proper parenting time.

Or, are you the victim of domestic assault, stalking, harassment or another action that places you in danger? Our law firm represents people on both sides of this sensitive issue.
