Oakland County Family Court & Friend of the Court Matters
The Oakland County Circuit Court Family Division handles matters that include divorce, child custody, adoptions, guardianships, and personal protection orders. The filings, hearings, and procedures involved can vary according to the type of case and the orders being requested.
In certain contested child custody, parenting-time, and support matters, the Oakland County Friend of the Court may investigate the circumstances and make recommendations. It may also assist with enforcing written court orders. We help clients understand how an existing order, Friend of the Court procedures, negotiation, mediation, and formal court action relate to their specific concerns.
Collaborative Practice depends on both parties participating in discussions, exchanging necessary information, and working toward voluntary agreements. Mediation and direct negotiation may also be considered when those approaches fit the circumstances.
A court-based process may still be necessary when the parties can’t reach an agreement or when a court order is required. We assess the available resolution paths with you and prepare for the next required step.
Discuss Your Family Law Options
A private consultation gives you an opportunity to explain your concerns, identify the connected legal issues, and receive guidance about information or documents that may be needed next.
Free, confidential consultations are available in person and by phone. Call (248) 780-1775 to speak with our family lawyer serving Oakland County.

How much will I pay in attorney fees?
It is impossible to estimate how much your attorney fees will be at the conclusion of your case.
Your attorney fees will vary depending on the amount and nature of the services rendered, the time, labor and difficulty involved, the character and importance of the litigation, the amount of assets and value of the marital estate, and the professional skill and experience required by your attorney.
How are attorney fees determined?
Attorney fees are governed by the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys. A lawyer may not enter into an agreement for, charge, or collect a contingent fee (a percentage of the monetary award) in a divorce case.
Why might someone need a family lawyer in Birmingham, Michigan?
The list of areas that we serve is vast, and every one of them has its own policies and procedures that must be followed. Trying to tackle these issues on your own, particularly when the other party will most likely have legal representation, puts you at a definite disadvantage. Start by making an appointment with our lawyers to set up an initial consultation. At that time, we will listen to your case and determine what issues need to be resolved and how. You will leave our offices with a thorough to-do list that will serve to organize your ideas and gather the information we require to proceed. At all times, our main goal is to work for you, protect your interests, and reassure you that you do not have to face this alone. We understand what you are going through and we care.
