In 2005, American demographics revealed that married households are now the minority: most of the U.S. population is single, divorced or widowed. The long-standing study showing first marriages in the U.S. are fifty percent likely to end in divorce before their 15th wedding anniversary is well-known.
Divorce and legal separation have therefore become unfortunate realities and something you may be considering in your life. In making this emotion-filled decision, you need to insure your perspective is realistic and you know the implications of the choices you make. Deciding to separate is life-altering for all of those involved.
Consulting with an attorney as part of your decision-making is smart. Here at the Sakis law firm, we can help as you determine what is the best way to protect your assets, finances, your children, and your own well-being.
Sometimes, a post-marital agreement provides the answer. Other times, a legal separation gives a relationship the necessary breathing room to avoid the finality of divorce.
If divorce proves to be the only viable option, negotiated settlements are oftentimes reached in issues of child custody, child support, and dividing of the marital assets and debts in Michigan. Here at the Sakis law firm, we also stand ready to defend your rights and interests at trial, if trial is what you desire.
The Sakis law firm also provides the option of a collaborative and innovative law setting for its clients as an alternative to trial. Here, clients opt to resolve their conflicts using cooperative strategies rather than adversarial techniques, choosing this form of alternative dispute resolution instead of participating in the standard judicial system. Here, there is no trial and clients save time and money.
