Nothing too big or small
Divorce services for every situation
Uncontested divorce
If you and your spouse already agree on key issues, an experienced attorney can help ensure your paperwork is completed correctly, your agreements are properly documented, and your divorce is finalized as smoothly as possible.
Get started
Filing for divorce
Whether you're filing for an uncontested divorce or dealing with more complex issues, an experienced divorce attorney can help you understand your options, complete the necessary paperwork, and take the next step with confidence.
Get started
Child custody & parenting time
Whether you're creating a parenting plan, negotiating custody arrangements, or dealing with a dispute, legal guidance can help you protect your relationship with your children and work toward a solution.
Get started
Spousal support
Spousal support, often called alimony, can be one of the most complex issues in a divorce. Whether you're seeking support or may be required to pay it, an experienced attorney can help you understand your rights, obligations, and the factors that may affect your case's outcome.
Get started
Divorce settlements
Many divorces are resolved through negotiated settlement agreements rather than a trial. An experienced attorney can help you evaluate proposals, negotiate key terms, and work toward a resolution that protects your interests while helping you avoid unnecessary conflict.
Get started
Contested divorce
If you and your spouse disagree on issues like custody, finances, or dividing assets, having the right legal support can make all the difference. Work with an experienced divorce attorney who can help you navigate conflict, protect your rights, and move your case forward.
Get started
Responding to divorce papers
Understanding your rights and responsibilities early can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect your interests. Work with a divorce attorney to help you evaluate your options and develop a strategy for moving forward.
Get started
Child support
Child support can have a real impact on both parents' futures. Understanding how support is calculated, what factors courts consider, and what options may be available can help you make informed decisions.
Get started
Property and asset division
Dividing property during a divorce involves more than deciding who gets what. Homes, retirement accounts, investments, businesses, and debts may all need to be considered. Legal guidance can help you understand your options and work toward a fair division of marital assets.
Get started
Post-divorce modifications
Life changes after divorce. Whether you need to modify child custody, child support, spousal support, or another court order, an attorney can help you understand your options and pursue changes that reflect your circumstances.

Your questions, answered
Kent County's 17th Circuit Court charges $150 to file, plus a mandatory $25 e-filing fee, for a base total of $175. Cases with minor children add an $80 custody/parenting-time fee instead of a separate $40 child-support fee (they don't stack), bringing the total to $255. Attorney costs are separate — with Marble Law, you pay only for the services you need.
All Kent County divorces are filed with the Family Division of the 17th Circuit Court at the Kent County Courthouse, 180 Ottawa Avenue NW in Grand Rapids. Unlike counties that split family cases across several district courts, Kent County runs its entire family docket through one circuit court, with divorce motions generally heard on Friday mornings.
Under Michigan Court Rules 2.105 and 2.102, your spouse can be personally served or served by certified or registered mail with return receipt, generally within 91 days of the summons being issued. If minor children are involved, Kent County also requires the complaint, answer, motions, notices, and judgment to be separately served on the Friend of the Court.
Not automatically. Kent County's Friend of the Court offers mediation for custody and parenting-time disputes, but it's voluntary — both parents must independently sign up for the same available date. Nothing on the court's own mediation page describes it as ordered before trial, unlike how some other counties and states handle it.
No, Michigan doesn't require it, and Kent County's Clerk of the Court notes more divorces are now filed by self-represented parties than any other case type, though staff can't give legal advice. The Legal Assistance Center, inside the Kent County Courthouse, offers free in-person help with forms and procedure — no appointment necessary.
Yes. You can file a Fee Waiver Request (Michigan form MC 20) under MCR 2.002; if granted because you can't afford it, both the $150 filing fee and $25 e-filing fee are waived. The same waiver authority extends to the custody/parenting-time fee under MCL 600.2529(6).
