Let us help
Whatever your situation, we’ve seen something like it before. Whether you are looking at a “conscious uncoupling” where things are amicable, or you have a high-conflict divorce or custody battle, we’ve handled the gamut. Our family attorneys specialize in handling high conflict matters, including those with claims of parental alienation, child protective services complaints or allegations about psychological issues. We take a hands-on, high touch approach to help clients navigate complex waters of family law litigation, to regain control of the case and their lives. No matter how litigious your case may appear, we can give you the guidance and direction to safely navigate you through the storm.
Trust Our Expertise
During our practice in family law, we have found that in many cases, hiring the right expert can make a difference in positive and negative outcomes for clients. Whether that means hiring a psychological expert, substance abuse expert, custody evaluator, change of schools expert, or knowing how to present issues to a Court Appointed Guardian and or Parenting Time Coordinator can be critical to custody and parenting time experts. Knowing the right financial experts and appraisers to help properly evaluate the property, businesses or other marital assets can be strategically critical to ensure the best outcome for a client. Our family law attorneys have the experience and connections necessary to ensure you the best possible outcome.
Same-Sex Family Law
Lastly, with the U.S. Supreme Court finally allowing for same sex couples to marry and start families, inevitably, the statistics suggest that some of those marriages may end in divorce, or there may be custody battles over adopted children. The Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges not only allowed for those same sex couples to marry, but, ostensibly, provides them the same access to the Courts for purposes of divorcing or fighting for custody. We’ve seen these cases many times, and we are happy and honored to represent parties in same sex divorce matters anywhere in Michigan.
