Divorce in Michigan

Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that a divorce can be granted when there has been a breakdown of the marriage relationship to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed and there remains no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved. Our attorneys guide clients through every aspect of the divorce process, including property division, support issues, and custody arrangements. For the residency rules, waiting periods, and what to expect in the Lansing-area courts, see our dedicated Lansing divorce lawyer page.

Child Custody

Michigan courts make custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Our attorneys work to present the strongest possible case for your custody rights while keeping the focus on what is best for your children. We handle both initial custody determinations and modifications of existing custody orders — our child custody and parenting time page explains the twelve best-interest factors judges apply.

Child Support

Support orders follow the Michigan Child Support Formula, driven by both parents' incomes and the parenting-time schedule. Whether you need a first order, an enforcement action, or a modification after a job change, our Lansing child support lawyer page covers how the numbers actually work.
