  • Are You in Danger of Having Your Parental Rights Terminated in Michigan (Part 1)

    As attorneys who do a lot of family law, and a lot of CPS defense, we work with many parents who are at risk of having their parental rights terminated.

  • Why Cheating on a Cheating Spouse Sabotages Marriage Recovery

  • Should You Get Revenge on a Cheating Spouse by Cheating on Them?

    It’s a pretty common human trait to want to get back at people when they’ve hurt or betrayed us in some way. It may not be the mature or responsible thing to do, but you’d be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t at least entertained the idea of ‘getting even’ when they’ve been shamed,…

  • How Hollywood Made Your Divorce More Confusing!

    There are about a million movies and TV shows out there with characters who get divorced, or are already divorced.

    The issue of rights for LGBTQ people has been a spotlight issue in recent years. With the Supreme Court ruling that gay marriage was to be legalized across the nation, there was a corresponding surge in awareness of other LGBTQ issues.

  • The Truth About Domestic Abuse And Divorce in Michigan. (Pt 2)

    Thanks for joining us again. We know domestic abuse can be a hard subject to read about, although for people in abusive relationships who are looking to get out and cut ties, we’re hoping this article will help them to prepare for the risks ahead, and have a better idea of what they need to…

  • The Truth About Domestic Abuse And Divorce in Michigan. (Pt 1)

    The terms “domestic abuse” and “divorce” tend to go hand-in-hand here in Michigan, although usually when someone is asking “why she didn’t leave him sooner?” The truth is, there’s a lot involved in a divorce when the marriage is abusive and the risks are much greater. People who’ve never been in abusive relationships don’t usually…

  • Planning Your Party, Ahem… we Mean Divorce: How to Make Sure it Goes Smoothly (Pt 2)

    Hey there, welcome back to this chat about planning for your best… well, not ‘party’ if we’re going to be entirely honest. But party planning and divorce planning have a lot in common.
