St. Clair Divorce Lawyer
Michigan is a no-fault divorce state. This means establishing fault, such as adultery or abandonment by either party, is not required. Instead, the courts will grant a divorce if the marriage has irretrievably broken down.
Divorce is generally classified as uncontested or contested. In an uncontested divorce, the parties mutually agree on key issues that can be quickly resolved. However, if the parties fail to reach an agreement, the divorce becomes contested, and the court may have to intervene. Either way, having a skilled divorce attorney represent you is a wise choice.
Division of Marital Property
Dividing the marital property is often a bone of contention for divorcing couples, particularly those with significant assets. Our attorneys have comprehensive knowledge of the rules governing the division of property in Michigan and will help you come away from your marriage with a fair share of marital assets.
Child Custody
We all want the best for our kids, and the courts generally agree that children benefit from an enduring relationship with both parents. Whether you need to create a parenting plan or establish parental rights, we will work with you to find a real-world child custody and parenting time solution.
Child Support
Child support is determined by a complex formula that considers each parent’s income, the number of children they have, and the custody arrangements. Let our attorneys guide you through the process and ensure that your children have the financial support they need and deserve.
Spousal Support
Spousal support is part of property division in a divorce, and the couple can often reach an agreement without court intervention. If you and your spouse cannot agree, a judge will decide; however, there is no statutory formula in play, and spousal support is decided on a case-by-case basis.
Paternity
When the biological identity of the father is in question, establishing paternity is crucial for resolving child custody and support issues. Our family law attorney can help you establish your parental rights or defend against a paternity action.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence afflicts many couples, but violence can also occur between parents and children, household members, and dating partners. We assist victims of domestic violence in obtaining Orders of Protection and guiding them through the divorce process if necessary. We also recognize that false allegations of abuse can arise, especially during highly contested divorce proceedings, and work to defend those unjustly accused of domestic violence.
Mediation: An Amicable Alternative to Divorce Litigation
Given the time and expense of litigating a family law issue, we advise clients on mediation. This involves working with a neutral third party to find solutions without going to court. The parties must agree to participate and negotiate in good faith for the process to succeed.
