Annulment. It’s a word you hear after impulsive weddings in Vegas. It’s a process that seems as simple as stating you want it to happen. But Michigan annulments are a legal process, and proving that a marriage never existed can be a challenge, no matter where or how they happened. This is no time to attempt a do-it-yourself divorce.

Summer should be a fun time for couples and families. The weather is nicer. There are vacations to look forward to. School is out and obligations are far fewer. While divorce rates may peak at the very start of the year, there are situations and occasions during the summer that can push a shaky marriage to the brink and have a couple deciding that it’s finally time to get a Michigan divorce.

You spend months going over the terms of your divorce with your Michigan divorce lawyer, your ex, and his or her attorney to settle on the fairest split. Then, your divorce is settled and life moves on. But what if circumstances change? What if you aren’t happy with the way things shook out? What if your ex isn’t holding up their end of the bargain?

Gwyneth Paltrow has made the news again for her unorthodox relationship choices. This time, it’s not a conscious uncoupling with her husband – aka, a divorce – it’s she and her second husband keeping separate homes and only staying together for a few nights a week.

Many people prefer to keep their personal life private when they’re at work, though some are very happy to share all about their family life.

Spousal support can be one of the most annoying parts of a divorce for both parties. The payor often doesn’t want to pay spousal support or wants to pay less than expected. The payee often believes they deserve more support than what they are getting. The problem is that, in Macomb County, Michigan, there isn’t one formula to follow when it comes to how spousal support is determined. Each divorce is unique, and so is the alimony. (more…)
Jacob Femminineo, Jr. has been appointed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer to fill a coveted seat on the 41B District Court judicial bench in Clinton Township. The judgeship became available with the retirement of former judge Linda Davis. Mr. Femminineo, a Mount Clemens lawyer, was selected to fill the judge’s seat over three other finalists seeking the position. (more…)
The Brady Bunch showed the innocent ups and downs of children in a blended family. Divorced mom, widowed dad, a new family of eight, plus a flighty housekeeper and a large pet. This combo made for interesting, wholesome TV but, in real life, a blended family – beautiful as it may be – is a challenge. (more…)
The simplest way to describe the difference between child custody and parenting time is this: Child custody is who gets to make decisions about the kid; parenting time is who gets to see the kid and for how long. When you get a divorce in Michigan, the legal system typically allows parents to come up with the best situation possible for their children.
