Macomb County Divorce Attorney

Family law encompasses all legal matters which pertain to the family structure. Lawyers help draft important legal documents to aid in adoptions, court petitions, pre-marital agreements, the end of marriages, property allocations, and agreements affecting children. This may sound like these are run-of-the-mill cases, and they can be. But often, divorces and child custody agreements become battlegrounds between two or more people. When emotions and anger run high, civility and common sense go away, making the simplest of tasks difficult. Every lawyer knows that the more contentious people become their legal fees increase drastically. Further, when someone is incapable of coping with their feelings, their reactions can be irrational. Family law also encompasses what to do in potentially dangerous situations, such as stalking, child kidnapping, and domestic violence. Family law is designed to protect and safeguard children during difficult times in addition to helping the parties end their marriage peacefully in everybody’s best interest.
