Getting Divorced In Michigan

Michigan Divorce Attorney Discusses Getting Divorced In Michigan

Michigan Divorce AttorneyThe decision to end a marriage never comes at a convenient time. The amount of anxiety and turmoil that accompanies separating a marriage or family can seemingly take over your life. I understand that you have questions about the divorce process, legal separation, or child custody matters. I have helped families just like yours and I can help you and your family through this difficult time.

According to Michigan law, grounds for divorce are considered to be the “Breakdown of the marriage relationship to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed and there remains no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved.” (See Michigan Compiled Laws, Section 552.6) Whatever your reason for divorcing your spouse may be, my goal is to help you and your family make this transition peacefully and easily so that you can move your life forward. When you hire me as your Michigan divorce attorney, you get all my years of experience working for you. I know how traumatic a divorce can be for you and especially your children, which is why I offer compassionate, personal attention to my clients. You are not just another case in my law firm, you are an individual who deserves my dedication so you can achieve the best possible outcome. Let me worry about your case so you don’t have to.

MORE ABOUT A MICHIGAN DIVORCE

Over the years of practicing family law in Michigan, I have learned that a divorce lawyer is part litigator, part therapist, and part accountant. Naturally people want to know how much they will pay or receive in alimony or child support. What is community property and how is it divided? Who pays the outstanding debts? How will child visitation be arranged? Who gets custody of our children? I welcome your questions and I encourage you to sit down with me to discuss your case. In most cases, both divorcing spouses want the divorce to result in a fair and equitable outcome, but there are times when negotiations break down and the other spouse becomes unreasonable. When that happens, rest assured that I will aggressively pursue your interests in court. My proven track record speaks for itself: achieving results no matter how harsh a full-on court battle will be. I am prepared to fight for you and go the distance.

WHY HIRE ME AS YOUR MICHIGAN DIVORCE LAWYER?

Every lawyer has gone to law school, and every lawyer has some experience in some area of law. I have dedicated my practice to family law matters such as prenuptial agreements, divorce, custody, alimony, child support, adoption, property division, decree modifications, restraining orders, and visitation matters. It is my core belief that settling your case amicably is usually the best solution and I encourage both spouses to make compromises when necessary. If the other attorney wants to be a bully, I will stand my ground. I am not intimidated by table pounding opposing counsel.

Family laws in Michigan change from time to time and trends in divorce can alter the outcome of seemingly similar cases so it is my firm belief to stay informed by studying new case law and decisions in my area of expertise. My law firm also believes that everyone should have access to the family law court system which is why we offer affordable payment plans and reasonable fees. We can always justify every dollar you spend on legal fees at our firm. I promise to be accessible to you and promptly return your phone calls. Call my office today to set up an initial consultation.
