Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  If the couple have children under age 18, a divorce includes decisions about child custody, child support and parenting time. If older children are still receiving support, such as for education or health care, their needs will be considered. Questions of spousal support or paternity also may arise.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  Going through a divorce is a difficult time emotionally and financially.  Our experienced family law attorneys will help guide you through your divorce to pursue and defend your rights to child custody, parenting time, property settlement, and spousal support.  We take care of your legal needs so you can focus on your family and move on with life.
• Paternity
• Guardianship
  We often are retained by adult children who live outside of Michigan. It’s even more advantageous for the family to contact us at the first suspicion or diagnosis of a physical or mental decline that could eventually lead to a nursing home move or the need for a guardianship or conservatorship.
• Spousal Support
