Brighton, Michigan, Divorce Attorneys

When facing divorce or other family law dispute, it is important to have an attorney who understands your particular situation. At the law offices of Cooper & Riesterer, PLC, we recognize that no two families are the same. Our divorce lawyers work to get to know you, understand your needs and concerns and help you with all aspects of your divorce or separation. Contact our family law attorneys to learn how we can help.

Our Michigan divorce lawyers offer compassion and diligence to clients involved with divorce and child custody disputes. We have experience working with all issues that can arise, such as:

• Marital Property and Asset Division: including the division of real estate, retirement funds, investment accounts and other marital property
• Child Custody: including sole or joint custody, legal and physical custody, visitation and parenting time and other child custody issues in divorce or paternity actions
• Child Support: including the proper calculation of each parent's income and the application of the child support guidelines  
• Spousal Support / Alimony: including temporary or permanent alimony and rehabilitative spousal support
• Modifications: modification of child custody or visitation orders, modification of child support
• Enforcement: If your ex-spouse is not paying the child support or spousal support which was ordered or is not following the visitation or custody schedule, call us to discuss how you can enforce your divorce decree.

We often find that better solutions are found when all parties work amicably through divorce mediation. Therefore, we encourage alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, such as mediation, to help clients with these important decisions. By proceeding in this manner, the parties take control of their decisions and control the resulting impact on their future. In addition, it avoids a long, drawn-out and costly trial, where a judge will impose a decision on the parties that may not make either happy. Moreover, mediation can help parents preserve a civil co-parenting relationship, which will benefit the children in the long run.
