Pear Sperling Eggan & Daniels, P.C. Discuss What to Expect from a Divorce with Children in Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Feb. 12, 2024 - PRLog -- Unlike a divorce without minor children, when minor children are involved there's a minimum waiting period of 6 months before the Court will grant a divorce. During the divorce process, you'll settle issues regarding spousal support, property division, and division of marital debt, as well as custody issues and child support regarding the minor child(ren).  There are two types of custody: physical and legal.  Physical custody determines who the children reside with, while legal custody grants the rights to make important decisions regarding the child(ren), including medical, educational and religious decisions.  Both custody matters can be granted to one parent (sole custody) or shared between both parents (joint custody).

Child support is then determined based on by the custody determination and as well as each party's financial status and ability to provide for the minor child(ren). Referrals are usually made to the Friend of the Court to assist in determining these issues.
