Michigan Family Law
- Divorce — If you are considering filing for divorce, get straight facts from a law firm that provides professional integrity and aggressive representation in every case that they handle. We can also discus alternatives to divorce, like annulment or separation.
- Marital property — Generally, in Michigan, marital property like retirement assets and real estate is split equally except in extreme examples of fault, including infidelity or inequities in income.
- Child support and spousal support — Child support is determined by a formula that includes the income of both parents. Unlike guideline child support, to determine spousal support, the court considers a variety of spousal support factors to determine the length and amount of alimony.
- Child custody and visitation rights — Under Michigan child custody laws, each parent has the right to be an actively involved parent. The court considers child custody factors when determining the custody of the children such as the parenting time and overnight schedule for the parents.
- Child protective services — CPS investigations can result from a comment made by your child, a neighbor's child, a complaint by a student and often from false allegations made during a contested divorce. Make sure you have an experience CPS attorney on your side.
- Stepparent adoption — A stepparent adoption can complete your family and give the stepparent the legal rights necessary to protect the children.
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements — Get comfort in knowing that your assets are protected in the event your marriage is unsuccessful.
- Post-judgment modifications and enforcement — Court orders sometimes need to be modified and sometimes need to be enforced. We can help you with any post-judgment motions.
- Foreclosure and bankruptcy in divorce — Before you make a decision about bankruptcy, foreclosure or other financial considerations that may affect your future, talk to Kathryn M. Wayne-Spindler.
- Guardianship — When a child is in danger or has no one who can effectively care for him or her, it may be in the child's best interests for a relative or other loved one to take over for the parents and be granted a child guardianship.
- Conservatorship — A conservator needs to be appointed if your child earns money or has medical bills.
