In their words

What parents said once it was settled

“I came in with a shoebox of pay stubs. Chidinma turned it into one page that showed exactly what support should be, and the court used her numbers.”

Jolene P.Support review, Kalamazoo

“The plan said six weeks to a signed agreement. It took seven, and Kaz called to tell me why before I had to ask.”

Andre W.Divorce, Grand Rapids

“Our son's new schedule follows the school calendar, including the summer weeks at the lake. Nobody had to win for that to happen.”

Sofia M.Parenting plan, Holland

Every family's case is different. What these clients went through doesn't predict the result of yours.

Cases we take

Four kinds of case, one way of working

Every case starts with the same written plan and the same fee estimate, whichever office you walk into.

  • Divorce

    Splitting a home, a retirement account and a calendar into two, by agreement where we can.

  • Custody and parenting time

    A schedule that follows the school year, the holidays and the drive between two houses.

    About custody
  • Child support

    Support worked out from real pay, health insurance and childcare costs, and reviewed when they change.

    About support
  • Adoption

    Stepparent, relative and agency adoptions, from consents to the finalization hearing.
