FAQs

Do I need to hire a lawyer?

Always consult with a lawyer about any major life events or changes, such as a divorce or the custody arrangements for your child. Your lawyer protects your rights, as well as the rights of your children. When you have an attorney working with you from the very beginning, you have the support of a legal professional who knows how the courts work in Michigan and can advocate for you if things get difficult.

Can I use mediation to settle my divorce?

The mediation process is a confidential process in which a neutral third party helps the parties discuss difficult issues and negotiate an agreement. Mediation is generally much less costly and time-consuming than litigating a divorce case in court. Henry Bergmans utilizes mediation or the collaborative approach in a divorce case when these alternatives are appropriate in the circumstances. Henry is a trained negotiator and frequently uses those critical skills to quell conflicts in a divorce case. Mediation and collaboration may lead to a personalized agreement that provides a better result than litigation in court.

How can I get my family law questions answered?

Henry Bergmans offers a free, no-obligation initial consultation for individuals with a family law concern. He assists clients with all types of family legal issues. Henry understands the complex and emotional nature of family matters and gives you the one-on-one support that you need to make the best long-term decision for yourself and your family. He helps manage your fears and addresses the unknowns by creating a personalized set of options for you. Throughout the case he works closely with you, to help you make the best decisions for yourself and your family.

What is joint legal custody?

Joint legal custody refers to both parents sharing the major decisions affecting the child, which can include school, health care, and religious training. Other joint legal custody considerations may include extracurricular activities, summer camp, age for dating or getting a job, and methods of discipline.

How does marriage affect the paternity of your child?

In Michigan, if a married couple has a child, it is presumed that the child is a product of that union. Should the marriage end in divorce, the father has a right to child custody and parenting time and is obligated to pay child support.
