    S11 Ep38: What Happens to Real Estate During Divorce In Michigan

    #ChooseGoldman Dividing real estate during a Michigan divorce requires carefully addressing title deeds, underlying mortgage debts, and accurate net equity values. Properly structuring these property provisions in your judgment ensures a fair division and full release of liabilities. • Dividing real estate involves addressing both title deeds and underlying mortgage debt rather than just deciding who keeps the house. • You must verify that a spouse can independently afford the mortgage, taxes, and maintenance before awarding them the home. • Distinguish between marital assets and separate premarital property, as premarital real estate principal remains separate. • True net equity is determined by deducting mortgages, HELOCs, and encumbrances from the gross market value, while also accounting for closing and transfer costs. • Parties can decide to sell the home, execute a spousal buyout, structure a property offset, or temporarily lease the property under a structured management agreement.

    S11 Ep37: What Happens to a Business During Divorce In Michigan

    #ChooseGoldman A business started during a marriage takes on a central role in a Michigan divorce because it generates present income and possesses future economic value that must be properly evaluated and divided. • A business started during marriage is a central divorce asset due to its present income and future economic value. • Valuing a business requires establishing the present value of its capacity to generate reliable ongoing income beyond physical assets. • Evaluating a business involves distinguishing between the entire marital entity and premarital separate property based on when operations began. • Securing an accurate appraisal requires analyzing net profit margins after operating costs and executive salaries rather than just gross revenues. • Forensic audits examine tax filings and K-1 partnership distributions to verify actual equity ownership and protect both parties' financial interests.

    S11 Ep33: 7 Things You Need to Know Before Starting a Child Custody Case in Michigan

    #ChooseGoldman Navigating a child custody case in Michigan requires a thorough understanding of legal standards, practical preparation, and child-focused strategies to protect your parental rights. This episode breaks down seven essential principles every parent needs to know before heading to court. • Master the statutory best interest factors by presenting specific proofs mapped directly to the approximately twelve legal criteria judges use to evaluate custody. • Know your child's daily routine intimately, including their school grade, pediatrician, and schedule, to maintain strong credibility under cross-examination. • Understand the distinction between physical custody regarding overnights and legal custody regarding major decision-making power for school, health, and religion. • Propose realistic parenting time schedules because demanding unreasonable restrictions on a fit co-parent without safety evidence appears unfair to the court. • Document all co-parenting communications by saving text messages and app records to eliminate he-said, she-said disputes with verifiable evidence.
