Frequently asked questions
We charge by service rather than by the hour, so you always know what you’re paying for. There are no hidden fees or unexpected costs.
Michigan courts evaluate several best interests factors, including emotional ties, parenting capacity, home stability, school continuity, and the ability of parents to cooperate.
Legal custody refers to the authority to make major decisions about the child’s life. Physical custody refers to where and with whom the child lives. Both may be shared or awarded solely.
Yes. You may request a modification if there is proper cause or a change in circumstances. We help you document and present the necessary evidence.
Michigan has strict limits on relocating more than 100 miles from your current residence. We can help you pursue or challenge a move by following the proper legal process.
No. Michigan law does not favor one parent over the other based on gender. The court’s only concern is the child’s best interests.
Uncontested cases may be resolved in a few months. However, depending on their complexity and court scheduling, contested matters or relocation disputes can take longer.
Judges often consider testimony, school and health records, parenting logs, text messages, and any other documentation that demonstrates each parent’s role and the child’s well-being.
