Custody in Michigan breaks down into two parts, legal custody and physical custody, often called parenting time.

Joint legal custody means neither parent can change a child's school, religion, or medical care without the other parent's input.

When parents cannot agree, Michigan courts look at 12 best interest factors to decide what is right for the children.

When your case does not settle on its own, both sides choose a neutral mediator to help guide the discussion toward resolution.

Mediation is a required step in many Michigan divorces, but the outcome still depends on both spouses reaching an agreement.

If mediation does not resolve things, arbitration is another option, though an arbitrator decides the outcome with very limited appeal rights.

Talking to police or posting about your case online after an arrest can seriously hurt your defense.

Prosecutors review social media and look closely at what you did before and after the alleged offense, so staying silent and cautious protects your case.

Even minor charges can follow you into future jobs and schools, which is why protecting your record from the start matters.

It is common for one spouse to have no access to the family's money, but that never means you have no options or cannot hire a lawyer.

Michigan follows equitable division, so the court accounts for financial imbalance and can award more from the home, retirement accounts, or through interim spousal support while your case is pending.

The discovery process, including depositions and subpoenas, ensures we know exactly what is in your marital estate before any negotiation begins.

Most people make the same mistakes after a DUI stop, starting with admitting they had a drink and agreeing to every test the officer requests.

Michigan's implied consent law means you must submit to the chemical breath test at the station, but you do not have to take the roadside field sobriety tests or the preliminary breath test.

A first offense carries a 93-day maximum, but with the right defense, many clients avoid jail time entirely and receive probation instead.

Not all criminal charges carry the same weight, and knowing the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Michigan can shape every decision you make.

A misdemeanor can mean up to one year in jail, while a felony can range from two years to life. Even so, being charged is not the same as being convicted, and there are often paths to a lesser outcome.
