Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  Adoption is a family law matter although the papers are processed in the Probate Court. In all situations, an adopted child is treated as a natural born child. When a step-parent wants to adopt his or her new spouse’s child, this adoption has consequences in the areas of child support, parenting time and inheritances. Michigan recognizes private adoptions – when the adopting parents and birth parents work through attorneys. However, most adoptions occur through private or public social service agencies. Adoptions are regulated by Michigan Statutes and Court Rules.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  “Paternity” is declaring parentage through court or equivalent procedures to be the unwed parents of a minor child. Child custody, child support, day care and medical/health insurance expenses are considered. The parents or the Court’s decisions may be incorporated in a “Paternity Order.”

• Guardianship
  Frequently, families need to use the Probate Courts. Probate Courts administer cases that fall under the Estates and Protected Individuals Code. Some issues that the Probate Courts have exclusive jurisdiction over include the administration over decedent’s estates both with and without legally executed wills; and limited and full guardianships and conservatorships over minors, mentally incapacitated individuals, and developmentally disabled individuals.
• Spousal Support
  Alimony and spousal support have the same meaning except the federal statutes for tax purposes refer to alimony and Michigan Statutes and cases refer to spousal support. In a divorce, it is used to transfer income between the parties. A form of alimony can be used as a way to transfer property. It can be taxable or non-taxable, modifiable or non-modifiable in the future and it can affect whether debt can be discharged in bankruptcy.
• Annulment
  “Divorce” and “annulment” refer to the legal severing of the marriage contract. When spouses divorce, they must formally, through family court, divide up property and retirement accounts, provide for the care and support of the children and modify the right to life insurance proceeds.
