Focused on Your Children's Best Interests

The difficulty of divorce is often more complicated by not having all of the answers for your children. Often, as you are going through the divorce process, you may still be living together. Part of our expertise enables us to assist you in creating a new living arrangement.

In Michigan, the court examines numerous factors when determining who is awarded primary physical custody and how legal custody of a child will be divided. When you come to the Law Offices of Lisa D. Stern, P.C. for your divorce concerns, we will discuss the factors examined by the courts in custody arrangements, including:

  • The emotional ties between parent and child
  • The financial means and emotional ability to raise the child
  • Existing home and school environments, as well as proposed living arrangements
  • Mental and physical health of all involved
  • The child's preference, depending on his or her age
  • Ability of both parents to continue to work amicably in raising the children

We know that the stakes are high when children are involved, so we dedicate ourselves to providing the responsive representation you deserve.

Addressing the Various Details of Your Divorce

In addition to helping with custody-related matters, we have extensive experience in all areas related to divorce, including:

  • Divorce settlements and litigation
  • Child support and spousal support issues
  • Division of property, pension and retirement assets

With our extensive negotiation skills, we are able to offer guidance throughout the mediation process should you wish to come to an amicable agreement with your former spouse. Of course, should an agreement be impossible, we are also well practiced in the courtroom and can provide the assistance you need to prove your case before a family law judge.
