Best Divorce Lawyers in Battle Creek, MI

Any attorney can take on a new client. But whether an attorney can competently and effectively handle your case comes down to four things: time, cost, experience, and comfort.

The Friend of the Court is very busy with active cases and has no interest in rocking the boat for no reason. If you received an income information questionnaire or investigation packet from the Friend of the Court, it is likely that either (1) the other party has filed a motion requesting the recalculation of support, (2) it has been 36 months since the last support order or last review, or (3) they have otherwise received some notice that a change in child support is warranted.

If parties come to an agreement to divide pre-marital assets, such as retirement funds, then the court will not disrupt that agreement when entering the Judgment of Divorce. If parties are not in agreement, and if the case proceeds to a trial, the judge will decide what division of assets is fair.

You will have a good chance at success on appeal if:1) you had a valid legal claim;2) you had evidence to support that claim;3) you presented that evidence appropriately in court;4) the other side did not present persuasive counter-evidence;5) you closely followed all procedural requirements;6) and if you appropriately raised your legal claim during the proceedings.
