Legal Help With Divorce-Related Issues

Divorce can be a challenging process, and it will not only involve the practical aspects of ending a marriage, but spouses will need to address different financial concerns and follow the proper legal procedures. Elkouri Heath, PLC assists clients throughout every step of divorce, providing clarity and support. Here are key areas where our attorneys can help:

• Child custody: Most of the time, joint custody arrangements will be used, allowing both parents to be closely involved in making decisions about how their children will be raised. Elkouri Heath, PLC helps clients navigate Michigan's custody laws to achieve arrangements that serve the best interests of the children while also respecting their parental rights.
• Parenting time: When establishing parenting agreements, schedules will need to be put in place that will allow children to have reasonable amounts of time with both parents. Our attorneys work to help our clients establish parenting time schedules that work for all parties involved while protecting children's best interests. 
• Spousal support: During a divorce, one spouse may request financial support from the other spouse. This form of support is commonly known as alimony. Elkouri Heath, PLC provides effective legal counsel to ensure that spousal support determinations are made correctly, considering issues such as the duration of the marriage, each party's financial status, and other relevant factors.
• Asset division: Dividing marital property during a divorce can lead to significant disputes. Our attorneys work with our clients to negotiate settlements that will meet their needs and protect their financial interests.
• Post-divorce enforcement and modification: Life circumstances change, and adjustments may need to be made to court orders after a divorce has been finalized. In some cases, spouses may need to take action to ensure that child support, child custody, or spousal support orders are followed correctly. Elkouri Heath, PLC works to help our clients enforce or modify their divorce decrees when necessary.
