Custody

Family law matters like divorce, child custody, and parenting time are sensitive issues. Disagreements often arise between divorcing spouses regarding the future of their children, with each parent wanting to protect their rights. For skilled legal guidance, consider Dena R. Horvath, PLLC. With over fifteen years of experience in family law, we stay up-to-date on legal procedures and changes that may affect your case.

In Michigan, custody determinations prioritize the best interests of the child, considering both legal and physical custody. Legal custody involves decision-making authority over important aspects of a child's life, while physical custody pertains to residence and visitation schedules. While children over 14 can express a preference, the court ultimately decides based on their best interests.

Disputes over custody arrangements can often be resolved through informal discussions, mediation, or collaborative law. On the occasion that they are not, Dena is  not afraid to go to trial if the other side refuses to fairly resolve issues.

You can expect an honest evaluation of your case before proceeding to trial.

Dena R. Horvath, PLLC is here to guide you through the complexities of family law, ensuring the best outcome for you and your family.
