You Have Choices
While each divorce begins with a Complaint for Divorce and ends with a Judgment of Divorce, today you and your spouse can choose how you come to an agreement through different process options, including some options that were not previously available. Michigan allows for collaborative divorce, summary divorce, divorce agreements reached through mediation, agreements reached through arbitration, or a traditional divorce process.
When the parties are in agreement, the summary divorce process can provide an efficient, economical and cooperative path to divorce.

Property Division
It is not uncommon to think of a divorce as overwhelming. After child-related issues, making sure each party receives an equitable share of the marital estate can be one of the most contentious aspects of a divorce.
Child Custody
In our experience, we have found that one of the most challenging aspects of a family law matter for most parents are those that affect their children.
