Michigan Muslim Family Law Attorneys

Regardless of a person's religious or cultural background, a divorce is one the most challenging life changes a person will ever experience. Islamic tradition, however, strongly emphasizes the sanctity of marital relationships. Our attorneys recognize this reality, but we also know that a divorce may become necessary for a wide variety of reasons. The skilled family law attorneys at our firm understand that Muslim families may have unique needs during a divorce and often have priorities that are different from non-Muslim couples. We proudly assist our clients in finding Sharia-compliant divorce solutions that take into account the physical, emotional, and spiritual concerns of each spouse and any other interested party.

Attorney Susan Elkouri and Symantha Heath are fully-qualified Michigan divorce attorneys who understand the applicable laws. We are also very aware of roles that faith and tradition play in the lives of many Muslims. We realize that Muslim families typically enjoy a close bond with one another, and a divorce typically affects family members well beyond the spouses and their children. The spouses' parents, grandparents, and even business relationships are often affected as well. At Elkouri Heath PLC, we are sensitive to the additional concerns of our Muslim clients, and we handle each family law case with compassion and an open mind.
