Family Law Articles

Over the years, we’ve had many questions about some of the key issues that may or may not be part of your divorce. Here, we believe that knowledge is power, and the more information you have, the better off you are.

We have prepared a basic checklist of issues that should be considered in your divorce and discussed with your attorney. We are glad to answer questions about any of the issues in the divorce checklist. It is intended to be general and broad in scope, and to cover as many issues as possible in order to negotiate a settlement or be prepared for trial.

Some of the items on the list will not apply to everyone due to variations in the law and facts. In addition, whether or not you have children will make a difference. Don’t hesitate to download this list, and if there are any questions, please feel free to contact us because we want your input as much as possible as you go through the divorce process.

Many people think about a divorce for a long time before they actually take steps and file. It is important to do some planning before you file for divorce. At Family Law of Michigan, we believe that a little pre-divorce financial planning can go a long way towards making the divorce itself run more smoothly, as well as providing you with additional protection. Doing your own homework can also save you money in attorney fees.
