  • Divorcing a Narcissist is a Neverending Nightmare!

    If you follow the blog here on our mid-Michigan divorce website, then you’ve probably read several articles already on narcissism, and how incredibly destructive it is to both a marriage, and the divorce process. But what many people don’t realize is that just because you’re planning to divorce your narcissistic spouse, doesn’t mean there’s light…

  • Is my Spouse Hiding Assets From me During The Divorce Process? How Can I Tell?

    Hiding assets during a divorce is a big no-no in Michigan! Because we’re an “equitable distribution” state (which means that our family law courts try to divide a divorcing couple’s assets as fairly as possible.) Each spouse is legally entitled to a portion of their combined assets. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you each get…

  • Can I Settle my Michigan Divorce Out of Court?

    If TV shows and movies were any indicator of real life, practically every divorce ever filed would be a long, drawn out affair, full of conflict and drama, and requiring a Judge to rule on practically every part of the process. Thank goodness that’s not the case here in Mid-Michigan! In fact, most people here in…

  • ‘Nesting’ After Divorce Can Actually be a Money Saver!

    Assuming your mind doesn’t jump directly to birds, most people think of ‘nesting’ as a phase that expectant women go through at the end of their pregnancy, which compelled them to prepare the nursery and get ready for their baby’s arrival. But there’s actually a third meaning for this term, and it has nothing to…

  • Advance Strategizing About Divorce: Things to Think About When Considering a Divorce

    If you’re reading this article, it’s probably because you’re unhappy in your marriage, and you’ve been thinking about calling it quits. But the thought of divorce can be overwhelming for many people. There’s a lot to consider, even more to plan and do, and the emotional toll it takes can be exhausting. Not to mention…

  • What a Great Divorce Lawyer Really Looks Like (Pt 2)

    Hi there and welcome back to this discussion about what a great divorce attorney really looks like, versus just a ‘good’ lawyer. Because as we pointed out in the first article, good is certainly better than ‘meh’ (and you absolutely don’t ever want a ‘meh’ attorney handling your divorce!). But there’s a big difference between…

  • What a Great Divorce Lawyer Really Looks Like (Pt 1)

    Obviously, there’s a huge difference between a “decent” divorce lawyer and a “good” divorce lawyer. “Decent” implies that they don’t suck. But that’s about as good as it gets. And as you can imagine, when it comes to your divorce, this isn’t what you want or need. Not if you’re hoping to be set up…

  • Important Tax Topics Your Michigan Divorce Attorney Needs to Discuss With You (Pt 2)

    Hi and welcome back to our discussion about tax topics that your divorce attorney really should be talking to you about. Yes, we know – divorce is a very stressful time and you already have a lot on your plate, so you don’t want to think about things like taxes. But as we mentioned in…

  • Important Tax Topics Your Michigan Divorce Attorney Needs to Discuss With You (Pt 1)

    Divorce is a busy time, and we know you’re going to have a lot on your plate right now. Which is one of the reasons a good divorce attorney brings up those very unexciting-sounding topics, like taxes, that need to be figured out. You may want to focus on “the important stuff” like alimony and…

  • Domestic Violence in a Marriage – It’s More Than Just Physical Abuse

    A recent article in the New York Times discussed a frequently misunderstood subject – the issue of domestic violence, and the fact that it adds up to much more than just physical assault. If you’ve read about domestic assault at all, or discussed it with anyone who was ever a victim, then you probably already…
