Family Law Cases We Handle

Because every family’s circumstances are different, each case calls for a personalized legal strategy. At the MI Family Law Center, our lawyers will take the time to listen to your story and understand your goals so that we can tailor our approach accordingly. Protecting the best interests of your family is our top priority, and our team will be there to support you every step of the way.

Our Grand Rapids family law services include representation in cases involving:

Divorce. Our attorneys can help you navigate the divorce process, enforce your rights, and work to protect your interests from start to finish. No divorce case is too complex, and we can assist with everything from conflicts involving property division to issues of spousal support.
Child custody. If you are going through a child custody dispute, an attorney can help protect your rights as a parent. Our lawyers understand how to effectively handle many types of child custody cases and can help you fight for a fair and favorable custody arrangement. We can also assist with child custody modification cases.
Child support. The Michigan Child Support Formula provides a guideline for child support obligations, but the courts can deviate from its recommendations in certain circumstances. Our attorneys can help you navigate the child support process and work to ensure that the child support order is fair and reasonable. We can also help with child support modification and enforcement.
Interstate child custody. We are familiar with the nuances of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), which governs interstate child custody, and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), which covers interstate child support and spousal support. We can assist with the registration and enforcement of UCCJEA affidavits as well as the registration and enforcement of out-of-state support orders in Michigan.
Paternity. Establishing paternity is an important part of protecting a father’s, mother’s, and child’s legal rights. Whether you're seeking to establish paternity, challenge paternity claims, or secure rights and responsibilities related to custody, visitation, or support, we can help.
