Divorce and Financial Considerations in Farmington Hills, MI

Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, which means that all divorces are granted on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. Fault considerations such as infidelity and abuse, however, may be taken into consideration by the court when determining property division and spousal support, if there is evidence for such allegations.

At Elkouri Heath PLC, we work diligently to develop reasonable, cooperative divorce settlements whenever possible. Our team believes that most divorce cases can be resolved through negotiation and compromise by both spouses. We understand how to utilize mediation or collaborative law whenever possible, but we also know that sometimes, cooperation is simply not possible. That is why we are also prepared to put our experience on your side if it is necessary to take your matter to court.

Wayne County Child Custody and Parenting Time Attorneys

Divorcing parents are often extremely concerned about the well-being of their children following the split. Our attorneys proudly work with mothers and fathers in creating parenting plans that afford both parents the opportunity to foster healthy, loving relationships with their children. A strong parenting agreement also encourages a supportive, co-parenting relationship between the adults, regardless of the issues that may have ended the marriage. Our team realizes that a child custody and parenting time plan must be based on what is best for the child, but we also understand the importance of protecting parents' rights.

In the wake of a divorce involving minor children, it is almost a certainty that one parent will be ordered to pay child support. We recognize that all parents have a responsibility to provide for their children, but financial support orders should be reasonable, just, and fully compliant with the law. Whether you need support for your child or you have been asked to pay child support, our experienced lawyers are here to help.
