Divorce Attorney

When faced with a divorce in Michigan, the process involves equitably dividing the marital estate and determining whether spousal support/alimony is appropriate under the circumstances. If minor children are involved,then  custody, parenting time, and child support must also be decided. A divorce attorney experienced in handling family law cases can explain this process to you and help guide you to make informed decisions that comport with the laws and your specific circumstances.  Attorney Karen Carver offers a free consultation at her Howell office and will take the time to actually explain this process and answer questions, to ensure that you fully understand the options available in your specific case. 

Michigan law considers various factors to determine if spousal support, or often referred to as alimony, is applicable in your case.  The length of the marriage and current situation of the parties, such as age, health, and income earning ability of each party, are factors considered in determining a support obligation.  There is no set formula, to which consulting with an attorney experienced in calculating support obligations can help you understand all of the options available in your situation.  Karen Carver is an experienced and highly effective spousal support attorney, with an office located in Howell.
