Divorce

Putting Experience on Your Side

Divorces are an emotionally challenging event for any family. Whether it is the end of a long struggle, or the beginning of a new chapter in your life, it is important to protect your rights. At the Shimmell Law Offices, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, family law attorney Dennis Shimmell has been guiding people through the divorce process since 1993.

On top of the emotions felt because of the breakup of your relationship, you also need to make vital decisions concerning your rights and obligations to your family and property. One of the jobs of a divorce lawyer is to walk with you through these difficult decisions. Our firm will assist you in making decisions about these questions:

• Who will have custody and be able to visit your child?
• How much child support does your child need?
• Is alimony appropriate in your divorce?
• How should you and your spouse divide your marital property?
• What happens when you need to modify or enforce a divorce order?
• Who is the other parent of your child?
• Should you draft a prenuptial or marital agreement?
• What rights do you have as a stepparent?
