Serving Client Needs in a Complicated Divorce Case

It’s common for spouses to go through feelings of doubt and uncertainty when dissolving a long term marriage. Michigan divorce law is complex, often creating further stress.

When you hire a highly qualified attorney that has your best interests in mind, you reduce the anxiety you face when undergoing a significant lifestyle change. The lawyers at Iafrate & Salassa, P.C. offer professional support with all aspects of the divorce process, including:

• Asset Distribution: Michigan law requires an equitable distribution of property acquired during the marriage, but it can be difficult to determine what assets properly belong to the marital estate. In long term marriage situations, some items may have sentimental value.
• Alimony: Spousal support is a highly contentious issue when one spouse was the primary breadwinner and the other gave up career opportunities to manage the household. In a marriage that spans several years, the value of respective contributions can create bitterness and prevent spouses from compromise on alimony.  
• Issues Related to Minor Children: Divorcing spouses must address such issues as child custody, support, and parenting time – or the court will do it for them. The best interests of the child are the top priority, but parents do have an opportunity to be heard.

Our attorneys will represent your interests and help you make informed choices when going through divorce after a long term marriage.
