  • Maybe It’s Not “Just a Friendship” After All… (Part 1)

      In addition to the more common sexual affair, emotional affairs are now on the rise, say relationship experts across the country. And while you may think that having an emotional affair is not damaging to your marriage (“after all, we’re not having sex”), this couldn’t be further from the truth. Specialists who deal with…

  • Not Everyone Is Going To Like You After Your Divorce! (Part 2)

      Hey there, welcome back! In our previous article we talked about the fact that not everybody is going to be on board with your divorce. And let’s face it, some people are going to drop you like a hot potato the moment your split becomes public knowledge. We can’t change that fact, and we…

  • Not Everyone Is Going To Like You After Your Divorce! (Part 1)

      Sometimes, when you share news about your decision to finally end your marriage, the news is actually well received! Friends and family who’ve watched you struggle for years, or who’ve seen your continued unhappiness, will be glad to see you ready to move on. But not everyone shares that desire for a fresh start.…

  • Why Can’t We Use The Same Divorce Attorney If We Agree on Terms?

      Divorce isn’t always a heated battle between spouses who can’t exchange three polite words and fight over every single detail. Some couples part ways amicably – knowing that their marriage didn’t work out, but that doesn’t mean they have to be enemies. So while some divorces are hotly contested at every turn, some are…

  • So Who Are You REALLY Marrying? The Truth May Scare You… (Part 2)

      In our previous article we talked about the fact that love is blind, at least in the early stages. People are prone to overlooking their partner’s faults and foibles.

  • So Who Are You REALLY Marrying? The Truth May Scare You… (Part 1)

      Love is blind, or so goes the old saying that explains away a host of poor choices in the relationship department. It seems like a silly saying, until you consider the current divorce rate. (And that one … or two… terrible relationships you managed to get out of in college. Phew!) But however you…

  • Polygamy – The Hidden Face of Marriage in Michigan (Part 3)

    Welcome back and thanks for joining us as we dissect this interesting and somewhat controversial subject. Polygamy is about as far from current mainstream America as throat singing and eating Hakarl (Google it – you’ll be amazed.) But despite it’s rarity, and illegality, polygamy still exists in America. If you’re only joining us now, we…

  • Polygamy – The Hidden Face of Marriage in Michigan (Part 2)

    Polygamy may seem like a strange topic for a family law blog, but variety is the spice of life, and technically this is a version of marriage (however obscure and illegal it may be.) In the previous segment we discussed what the law is regarding polygamy, both here in Michigan and in the U.S. as…

  • Polygamy – The Hidden Face of Marriage in Michigan (Part 1)

      Big Love was an enormously successful HBO drama a few years ago. Bill Henrickson is an all round kind, hardworking husband and father in Utah. His children are clean and cute. His wife is ….wait, his wives are industrious and welcoming. Well, most of the time. Hold up! Wives? He had more than one?…
