That said, regardless of how capable you are of working with your spouse in this respect, it is paramount that you have a seasoned family lawyer in your corner who can advocate for the best interests of your child at every turn.
- Child Support: Receiving child support is often a crucial component of being able to provide for all of a child’s needs.

- Post-Judgment Modifications: Divorce is a significant, life-changing event. That said, it is often also a catalyst for other significant changes down the road, such as embarking on new careers, co-parenting a child as he or she grows, and perhaps even eventually getting remarried. For this reason, sometimes, when one party’s life circumstances change significantly after a divorce, courts will grant a post-judgment modification. Simply put, this is a modification to one of the terms initially established in their divorce agreement, such as child custody, spousal support, or child support. If you’re seeking a post-judgment modification in Michigan, we are here to help.
