Divorce
Bad things can happen in divorce if you don't do anything and naively wait by hoping things will work out. People can do things like hide assets and make damaging accusations that can affect your life forever.
Child Custody
It's important to formalize your parenting time arrangement into an enforceable court order. A parenting time agreement that spells out custody and visitation rights is a way to avoid future arguments, stress and legal disputes.
Child & Spousal Support
If spousal maintenance is an issue in your divorce, you need a particularly skilled and experienced attorney to make a strong argument in support of your position.
Marital Assets & Debt Division
The general rule in Michigan is that anything accumulated post-marriage becomes a marital asset or a debt and needs to be divided. However, that is an oversimplification. Determining what is marital property and what is separate property is not always clear-cut.
Complex Business Evaluation
It's not an unusual story: A husband and wife live lavishly off the profits of a business until their relationship ends in divorce. Then the husband (or wife) turns to the couple's tax returns and says the business is losing money.
Same-Sex Partnerships
