guidance in divorce & child custody

If you're going through a divorce, you know how emotional it can be. For a smooth process, three elements are required: patience, honesty, and integrity. Unfortunately, it's never as simple as it sounds. At Downriver Law Center here in Michigan, we make it a point to help you navigate difficult family matters with confidence, patience, and efficiency as you move toward a brighter tomorrow.

We can help with sensitive matters involving spousal support, property division, and child support. When children are involved, it's important to take this process very seriously. You want what's best for your children, so our skilled attorneys will stand by your side, both in and out of the courtroom, as we seek favorable results.

If you are facing a child custody dispute, you're not alone. Many couples disagree on where their child will live, where they will go to school, or who they will see for medical care. Our goal is to pursue the child's best interests as we seek to reach an agreement. If you live in the Downriver area, schedule a consultation with our family law attorneys right away to receive the guidance you need.

At Downriver Law Center in Taylor, Michigan, we don't change our behavior or our level of preparation based on the situation. We will always strive to do what's right. As the proverb says, our attorneys strive to "walk in the path of righteousness, in the pathway of justice." It's simply what's best for families and children.
