Divorce Services We Provide
Contested Divorce
When there’s disagreement on property, custody, or support, we build strong cases with smart negotiation or litigation—always focused on fair, lasting results.
Uncontested Divorce
When both sides agree, we streamline the legal process with clear filings, fast timelines & cost-conscious strategies that honor your time and agreement.
Property & Asset Division
Dividing assets requires more than math. We help clients identify, value & separate marital property in ways that protect financial futures and reduce conflict.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Spousal support decisions can affect both parties long-term. We evaluate income, need & fairness—whether you’re requesting support or being asked to pay.
Separation Agreements
Not ready for divorce but need clarity? We draft legal separation agreements that define responsibilities, protect finances & establish terms while you consider next steps.
Post-Divorce Modifications
Life changes—so sometimes divorce agreements must, too. We help clients seek or defend changes to support, custody & other orders when circumstances shift.
What You Should Know About Divorce
Here are the answers to common questions we hear from clients considering or currently navigating divorce in Michigan.
How long does a divorce take in Michigan?
For couples without children, the waiting period is 60 days. With children, it’s 6 months. Timelines vary based on conflict, court scheduling & case complexity. We’ll help set realistic expectations from the start.
Do we have to go to court?
Not always. Many divorces are resolved through negotiation or mediation. But if trial is necessary, we’re fully prepared to represent you in court and protect your interests.
What counts as marital property?
Generally, anything acquired during the marriage—including income, homes, and retirement accounts. We help identify what’s considered shared property and advocate for fair division.
Can I change my divorce agreement later?
Yes, in some cases. If circumstances have changed significantly—like income shifts or parenting changes—we can help you petition the court to modify the agreement.
Will I have to pay or receive alimony?
It depends on many factors—length of marriage, earning capacity, health & more. We’ll review your situation and advise what’s realistic under Michigan law.
