Television dramas like HBO’s Big Little Lies make it seem like a grandparent could easily petition for custody of his or her grandchildren. Real life doesn’t always get quite so grandiose, however. In Michigan, grandparents are only awarded custody of a grandchild if it is determined by the court that the parents are unfit to care for the child. There are shades of gray, however. (more…)
Christmas. Thanksgiving. Easter. Any major holidays accompanied by a significant break from school are factored into the parenting time equation in a divorce. Halloween doesn’t always get the same consideration. However, you don’t have to miss out on the fun with your kids if you work with a Michigan divorce lawyer who knows how to negotiate for what you want. (more…)
The Friend of the Court (FOC) is a division of the circuit court that handles any divorce matters involving minor children. The support from the Friend of the Court is free, and it is intended to simplify Michigan divorce so it is easier on the divorcing couple and their children. (more…)
Some parents, to shield their kids from excessive emotional turmoil during divorce, are willing to bargain with their ex when it comes to parenting time, just to ensure that their children’s lives are not disrupted even more than they already have been. (more…)
There is no such thing as a quickie divorce, at least not in Michigan. In this state, a divorce takes a minimum of 60 days to complete. If children are involved, a split takes a minimum of 180 days. Realistically, though, divorces can last a year or more. But who has the time or funds to wait 12 months for all the major decisions to be made? Thank goodness for interim orders. (more…)
You live in Macomb County. You and your ex lived together in Macomb. But your marriage is ending and he or she has moved out – and moved away. If your ex files for divorce first, guess what? Your divorce will take place in the court that has jurisdiction over their new place of residence. Before you get a divorce in Michigan, make sure you know where that divorce will be heard. (more…)
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. (more…)
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. (more…)
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? It’s not too late to ask for a reset, within reason. A post-judgment action is your best course of action. (more…)
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. Is she onto something? Could you avoid a Michigan divorce by sleeping in separate beds? (more…)

Most lawyers are in a general practice and do some of everything. One of our main focuses is on Family law and being expert at divorce, custody and support matters.

Our extensive experience and strong relationship with the courts and our peers leads many judges and attorneys to hire us to act as Mediators in other Family Law cases.
