Life is going to change and the only thing that is certain, is uncertainty. There is no denying the fact that the prospect of divorce is scary. Not only are you living through what is arguably the worst emotional trauma you have ever experienced, you are preparing to negotiate what could be the largest business transaction that you have ever fathomed.
The best interests of a child is the standard a Michigan Court will apply to the facts of any custody dispute between parents, agencies, and/or other third parties. There are two levels of custody in Michigan: legal custody and physical custody. Physical custody reflects the amount of time the child resides with each parent, and legal custody refers to decision making authority on important decisions affecting the child's welfare.
Parenting time is likewise determined by what is in the child's best interests. There is a presumption in Michigan that it is in a child's best interests to have a strong and loving relationship with both of their parents. The frequency, type, and duration of a parenting time award must be reasonably calculated to promote such a relationship.
Every child in Michigan has an inherent right to the financial support of both of their parents. Child support is a court ordered payment of money for the benefit of a child, including medical, dental, optical, and other health care related expenses; child care expenses; and educational expenses. The amount of support that must be paid is determined by application of the Michigan Child Support Guidelines.
Michigan Courts presume an equitable division of marital property, generally meaning any property accumulated by either party's contributions or efforts during their marriage. Equitable division doesn't always mean a 50/50 split, but rather just and reasonable in light of equitable principals.

I highly recommend Noah Fields for anyone who finds him/herself in the unfortunate position of divorce/child custody. Mr. Fields goes above and beyond his duties as a lawyer to guarantee his clients receive the best representation possible. He is professional, diligent, prompt, and his attention to detail is unmatched. Mr. Fields worked hard to guarantee that I would be treated fairly; his entire team fought hard for me. I never had to worry about tardiness with court appearances, meetings, or the filing of paperwork because he was always on time. We were in constant communication about what was

Laurie was our attorney for almost 3 years as we fought with my husbands ex for custody. She was amazingly helpful. We went through so many hurdles with the judge and Laurie was always ready to jump and help. She truly cared about what was best for our son/step son. So thankful for Laurie and all of her help!

I can't say enough good things about this firm. Everyone, including the legal assistant, is ready and willing to help. I felt welcomed and important from the moment I stepped foot into their office. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and I am happy with the service I received. I will always go to them for all of my legal needs.

Laurie has been my attorney for 6 years now. She helped me through a major custody battle and a divorce. She is an extraordinary lawyer. I trust her in any situation to have my back and make decisions if necessary. Her commitment to my cases was extraordinary. She knew my cases as well as I did at all times. I will and have recommended her to many people. If you’re looking for the best in Oakland county you’ve found her!
