Child Support in Michigan
Child support disputes commonly arise at the initial stage of a case and continue to present themselves for many years after the start of a dispute. These disputes are often based on general feelings of dissatisfaction regarding the end of a relationship and financial constraints that make it difficult for the custodial parent to provide for the child's needs or the non-custodial parent's ability to pay guideline child support.
To provide a bright line standard for the determination of child support payments, the Michigan legislature has created child support guidelines that delineate a mathematical formula for determining guideline child support. Although courts can deviate in limited circumstances, they rarely do.

Magidson, P.C., can help.

Spousal Support in Michigan
The right to spousal support (alimony) is not absolute. In determining whether to grant a husband or wife an award of spousal support, a judge will consider numerous factors including the duration of the marriage, financial and employment sacrifices made by either party during a marriage, the parenting duties of both parents during a marriage, the earnings or employment capacity of both parties and the amount of property/assets both parties will be awarded by the court at the conclusion of divorce proceedings.
