FAQs About Divorce & Family Law in Michigan
The timeline depends on your situation. Uncontested divorces (with no minor children) may be finalized in as little as 60 days. If you have children or complex financial matters, it may take 6–12 months or more, especially if the case is contested.
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all major issues—custody, property, support, etc. A contested divorce involves disputes that require negotiation or a court decision. We handle both types and will help you reach the best possible outcome.
Michigan courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors like emotional ties, parenting ability, stability, and more. Courts often favor joint custody, but the specifics depend on your family dynamics and evidence presented.
Yes. If there’s been a substantial change in circumstances—like job loss, relocation, or a shift in parenting time—you can petition the court for a modification. Our attorneys can help you determine if your case qualifies.
Technically, no—but it’s highly recommended. Divorce involves important decisions that impact your finances, children, and long-term well-being. A skilled Michigan divorce attorney can help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure your rights are protected.
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your case. Simple, uncontested divorces may cost less than contested ones involving child custody or large assets. We offer transparent pricing and free consultations to help you understand your options.
You can still move forward. Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, so your spouse doesn’t have to agree to the divorce. If they delay or refuse to participate, the court can still issue orders and finalize the process.
You have the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and the right to be informed of the charges against you. Do not answer police questions without legal representation. Contacting a criminal defense lawyer immediately can help preserve your rights and protect your future.
