Child Support

Child support can be one of the most contentious issues in a divorce case. The team at WDA fights to ensure that the financial needs of minor children are met and to ensure that there is continuity in their lifestyle post-divorce.

Spousal Support

While there is no specific formula to calculate spousal support in Michigan, the team at WDA understands the 12 evaluating factors that determine this and how it's presented properly in the courtroom.

Asset Division

Ideally, divorcing couples would agree on how to fairly divide assets acquired during the marriage. The reality is, that's not likely going to be the case, making it necessary for a court to step in and decide how to distribute property.

Pre & Post Nuptial Agreements

Taking time to create a legal agreement can sometimes solve issues before they start. The team at WDA can help you determine what details are necessary to create your Pre Nuptial or Post Nuptial agreement.
