Divorce & Family Law

Serving all of Oakland County, including Clarkston, Davisburg, Waterford, White Lake, Milford, Highland, Commerce Township, and all surrounding areas

Divorce can be one of the most stressful periods in a person’s life. Unlike other areas of civil litigation, neither party “wins” in a divorce. The family members all lose something when a complaint for divorce is filed. Our law firm facilitates child-related issues and strives toward an equitable-division of the marital estate so that all family members can move-on with their lives with dignity after the divorce process is complete. Often, the public courtroom, although sometimes necessary, is not the preferred venue for the sensitive issues involved in a divorce.

• divorce
• separation (separate maintenance)
• annulment
• ante-nuptial or postnuptial agreements

All divorces begin with the filing of a complaint for divorce at the county courthouse. Our lawyers ensure that your case is prepared prior to filing, during the discovery process, through the negotiations inevitable in divorce proceedings, and after the judgment of divorce is entered with the court. Our firm will protect your interests by maintaining a position of strength through preparedness in all phases of the divorce process.
