Working To Resolve Your Divorce And Family Law Concerns

Our Trenton divorce attorney can help guide you through the divorce process and handle all related issues, including:

  • Division of property, debt and investments: The general rule is that whatever is accumulated during the marriage is divided 50-50. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and we will work with you to help get a favorable resolution.
  • Child and spousal support: Child support payments are determined using a statutory equation that takes income and child custody into account. Spousal support, or alimony, is not guaranteed. It may be warranted in situations where a person has been disabled, has been married a long time and has not been working, or has no marketable job skills. Alimony is often temporary.
  • Child custody: The objective of the state of Michigan is to give both parents joint legal and physical custody. However, custody ultimately comes down to what arrangement is in the children’s best interests. A parent’s work schedule and parenting ability are taken into account.
  • Parenting time: The state of Michigan recognizes that it is in the best interests of the child to maintain a relationship with both parents. Even if one parent is granted primary custody, we can help ensure that a relationship with the other parent is maintained.
  • Modifications: Child support and spousal support modifications are made based on a change of circumstance such as the loss of a job or a change in salary. Child custody modifications require a substantial change in circumstances such as the loss of a job, a change in a work shift, or the development of a drug or alcohol problem.
  • Paternity: We represent mothers or fathers seeking to prove or disprove paternity. A DNA test is used to determine paternity, and the results often have an impact on child support and custody.
