Pre- and Postnuptial Agreements

Before diving into divorce and custody matters, it's essential to address pre- and postnuptial agreements.

Before marriage, or even after, having these agreements can help protect assets, clarify financial responsibilities, and minimize potential conflicts in case of a future divorce.

Divorce in Michigan

Michigan allows for both contested and uncontested divorces.

Uncontested Divorce 

In uncontested divorces, both parties mutually agree on all aspects of the divorce, making the process smoother and more amicable.
