Learn MoreMost lawyers charge an hourly rate for family law services. In some cases, an attorney may charge a flat fee for a specific service. You may also be asked to pay a retainer fee in advance, depending on the complexity of your case. Costs depend on many factors, such as the time your attorney spends on your case, the complexity of the issues, and the filing fees and other court expenses. Your attorney may be able to suggest ways that you can minimize your costs by taking some simple measures while your case is pending.
Joint physical custody refers to the time spent with each parent. The amount of time is flexible and can range from a moderate period of time for one parent, such as every other weekend, to a child dividing the time equally between the two parents’ homes.
Child support in Michigan can be modified in two ways. First, each parent has the right to request the Friend of the Court investigate the amount of child support every three years. Second, a parent may petition the court to modify child support if there has been a significant change of circumstance, which is defined as a 10% change of income. Under this rule, if a parent has a 10% reduction in income or believes the other parent has had a 10% increase in income, they may petition for a modification. The request must be filed with the court. An attorney can file a modification request for you.
The importance of a competent and experienced lawyer cannot be overstated. Your attorney guides you through all the necessary steps of a divorce, child custody case, or any other family law matter and provides the practical insight that is crucial in an emotionally charged situation. Having the right attorney by your side throughout your family law matter can make a significant difference in the amount of time it takes and the money you spend to reach a favorable resolution.
At a minimum, you should always have an attorney review your situation before you make any decisions or take any steps. A lawyer provides legal counsel and practical guidance to limit potential problems that may develop.
