Michigan Family Law Representation for All Families
At The Kronzek Firm, we proudly represent individuals and families from all walks of life. We believe every Michigan family deserves experienced legal counsel, respectful treatment, and vigorous advocacy. Whether you are married, unmarried, raising children, or facing a difficult family law dispute, our attorneys are committed to helping you protect what matters most.
Family law issues can be emotionally challenging and legally complex. For members of the LGBTQ+ community, these matters sometimes involve unique legal considerations relating to marriage, parentage, child custody, and family formation. Our goal is to provide clear guidance and effective representation tailored to your family’s needs.
Family Law Services for LGBTQ+ Individuals and Families
The legal rights of same-sex couples have evolved significantly in recent years. Following the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, same-sex couples have the same constitutional right to marry as opposite-sex couples. With marriage rights come the same legal rights and responsibilities involving divorce, child custody, child support, property division, and spousal support.
At The Kronzek Firm, we assist LGBTQ+ clients in a wide range of family law matters, including:
- Divorce and legal separation
- Child custody disputes
- Parenting time matters
- Child support
- Legal separation
- Step-parent adoptions
- Family formation planning
- Paternity and parentage issues
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
- Enforcement and modification of family court orders
Same-Sex Divorce in Michigan
The end of a marriage is never easy. Michigan law generally applies the same divorce procedures and legal standards to all married couples, regardless of sexual orientation.
However, same-sex divorces may sometimes involve unique circumstances, particularly when couples were together for many years before marriage became legally available nationwide. Questions may arise regarding property ownership, financial contributions, retirement assets, and family arrangements established before the marriage was legally recognized.
Our attorneys work to protect our clients’ interests while helping them navigate Michigan’s divorce process as efficiently as possible. Family law in Michigan is always evolving. Michigan’s family courts can be complex and intimidating. But, having represented thousands of clients for more than 32 years, The Kronzek Firm knows its way around family court.
Child Custody and Parenting Time
When children are involved, family courts focus on one primary consideration: the best interests of the child.
Michigan judges, and Friend of the Court offices, evaluate numerous statutory factors when making custody determinations. Sexual orientation alone is not a lawful basis for denying custody or parenting time. Courts are required to consider the child’s welfare and the facts of the individual case.
Whether you are seeking sole custody, joint custody, a parenting time schedule, or modifications to an existing order, experienced legal representation can help protect your parental rights and your relationship with your child.
Parentage and Family Formation Issues
Modern families are created in many different ways. Assisted reproductive technology, donor conception, and other family-building methods can raise important legal questions regarding parental rights and responsibilities.
Establishing clear legal parentage is often critical to protecting both parents and children. Depending on the facts of the case, legal action may be necessary to ensure parental rights are properly recognized and protected under Michigan law.
Our attorneys help Michigan clients understand their legal options and take proactive steps to strengthen their family’s legal foundation.
Protecting Your Rights During Family Law Disputes
Family law matters often affect the most important parts of a person’s life: children, finances, property, and future stability. Whether you are facing a divorce, custody dispute, adoption matter, or another family law issue, it is important to have knowledgeable legal counsel on your side.
