Divorce - At Penzien Hirzel, PLLC, we understand that divorce can be emotional, heated, and hard on everyone involved, especially children. Our family law attorneys strive to help divorcing couples and parents effectively and quickly resolve any divorce disputes through negotiation when possible.

Child Custody - Our goals in custody cases are to protect the best interests of the child and help parents negotiate workable, fair parenting and custody arrangements. When parties cannot come to an agreement through negotiation or mediation, we can protect their custody interests in court.

Child Support - Determining child support in Michigan divorces is done using a formula that considers the income of both parents, family size, and needs of the child or children. We assist both custodial and non-custodial parents in child support proceedings.

Spousal Support - Our divorce attorneys work with parties in divorce who need spousal support (alimony) as well as parties who wish to fight a request for support. We can explain how the courts decide whether to award spousal support - as well as how much and for how long - after considering the following:

• Length of the marriage
• Age and health of both parties
• Need for support and ability to pay
• Standard of living during the marriage
• Training, marketable skills, and earning potential

Marital Property Division - We effectively handle the division of all property, assets, and debt during a divorce. Our lawyers' business experience is especially valuable during divorce proceedings that involve valuation of family businesses, as well as in the location of hidden assets, real estate valuation, and the division of pensions, 401k, stocks, and retirement benefits.
