    S11 Ep28: What to Do When You Are Served With Custody Papers In Michigan

    #ChooseGoldman Receiving custody papers after unmarried parents separate requires an immediate and strategic legal response to protect your parental rights. This discussion covers essential steps, including reviewing complaints, meeting court deadlines, and gathering vital evidence. • Read the legal complaint carefully to determine if the other parent is seeking joint custody or exclusive physical control. • Understand the distinction between legal custody and physical custody, noting that requesting six overnights a week means seeking sole physical custody. • Adhere to court rules and procedural deadlines by filing your formal Answer and Counter-Complaint within 21 days of service. • Gather relevant records immediately, including pediatrician logs, parent-teacher records, and proof of daily caregiving. • Retain an experienced family law attorney early to ensure your documents are filed correctly and your evidence is preserved.

    S11 Ep27: How an Uncontested Divorce Works In Michigan

    #ChooseGoldman An uncontested divorce in Michigan requires both parties to agree on all fundamental terms, including custody, support, and property division, before moving forward with a final court hearing. Understanding this process can help you save time and reduce legal costs. • An uncontested divorce requires complete agreement on all core issues, including child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support, property division, and debt allocation. • Filing an answer that objects or requests different relief instantly turns an uncontested case into contested litigation, increasing both costs and timelines. • Truly uncontested cases involve specific arrangements, such as establishing detailed parenting schedules that outline alternating holidays and shared days. • Even an uncontested divorce requires a final court hearing where fully drafted legal documents, including a draft Consent Judgment of Divorce, must be presented to avoid judicial frustration and delays. • Hiring an attorney for limited-scope representation to draft the final judgment and handle the final hearing can be an economical option, but self-represented parties risk forfeiting major marital assets like pensions and 401(k)s if agreements are incomplete.

    S11 Ep26: How a Contested Divorce Works In Michigan

    #ChooseGoldman Understanding how a contested divorce works in Michigan is essential for navigating active disputes regarding property, support, and custody. This episode explores the critical steps involved in managing a contested divorce, from early identification of issues and mandatory financial disclosures to settlement negotiations and trial preparation. • Contested divorces involve active disputes and are significantly more complex than uncontested cases where parties agree on all terms. • The most critical early step is identifying specific disputed issues, such as home valuation, custody, or support, while separating agreed items. • Full financial disclosure is mandatory, requiring both the plaintiff and defendant to exchange complete profiles of assets and liabilities. • Courts strongly prefer that parties negotiate a settlement for judicial approval rather than relying on a court-imposed judgment. • Preparing for trial requires supporting factual assertions with concrete, admissible evidence rather than personal opinions or emotional feelings.

    S11 Ep24: How To Handle a High-Conflict Divorce

    #ChooseGoldman High-conflict divorces require a strategic approach focused on picking your battles and avoiding unnecessary litigation over minor disputes. Learning how to manage constant motion filings and maintain your composure can protect your financial resources and legal standing. • Understand that high-conflict cases often feature constant motion filings meant to control the narrative by complaining about minor disputes. • Recognize that constantly filing over minor issues ultimately aggravates the judge who decides your case. • Work with your attorney to identify core issues worth fighting over and treat minor disputes as background noise. • Avoid over-engagement by defending against legitimate claims while retaining control over your participation level. • Prevent the opposing party from dictating your legal strategy to protect your financial assets and emotional well-being.
