Covid-19 and Divorce

Covid-19 has impacted millions of people in a lot of different ways such as schooling, jobs, family, and relationships. Something that stood out to Goldman and Associates was the rising number of domestic violence cases in the United States during the lockdown and how it continued to steadily rise. It’s being called the pandemic within a pandemic, the lockdown has increased domestic violence and it’s much harder for victims to get help or move away. Another thing that came with the lockdown was limited income with businesses being shut down, which made it a lot harder for victims to get a divorce or file for a PPO. In the United States, domestic violence cases rose 8.1% according to the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice. This is troubling and we understand how hard it was for these victims to go through that situation.

Now that lockdown restrictions are being lifted and more people are being vaccinated, life is shifting back to normal, but not for everybody. Many people were unable to get the legal services they needed because of the pandemic. Now that things are going back as they used to be, people are now taking action to protect themselves by getting divorces and PPOs. This is why Goldman and Associates is giving away a free divorce. Our law firm wants to help those in need and help out an individual that absolutely needs a divorce but do not have the resources to do so. This will be our second time giving out a divorce, the first time we gave away a free divorce it caught the attention of the media and many people were interested. Because of the attention and success it received, Goldman and Associates wants to give back to the community again. Divorces can be very expensive and we understand that there are people that cannot afford one during this time. Let us help you get the divorce you need so you can move forward in your life!

Fireworks and Personal Injury

Every year in the summer, thousands of fireworks are bought and set off almost every weekend. The 4th of July has just passed and there have already been a few tragic accidents resulting from fireworks. Even though fireworks may seem fun and bright they are not one hundred percent dependable and safe. In this blog we will be going over what to do if you have been involved in a firework accident and what actions you can take.

Personal Injury

When it comes to handling personal injury claims, the process is often lengthy and tedious as insurance companies attempt to find any flaw in your presentation. That being said, the most important aspect of your case comes down to who you allow to stand up for your rights in a court of law.

Personal injury is a legal term used to refer to an injury to the body, mind or emotions. Most personal injury claims fall under the broad heading of ‘negligence,’ and assert that a party was injured as a result of the carelessness of another.

In the state of Michigan, citizens are protected from personal injury by the same type of negligence laws that are popular throughout the rest of the United States. Under these laws, certain classes of people owe one another a duty to utilize due care and caution so as to prevent injury. A property owner, for example, has a duty to make sure that his premises are safely maintained so that those he invites onto his property are not injured. Similarly, a doctor has a duty to use a professional standard of care in treating his patients. Where people are injured because of another’s failure to use this sort of caution, they may have the basis for a successful personal injury case.

What To Do If You Have Been Injured By Fireworks

If you have been injured by fireworks make sure to first go to the hospital and get the care you need. After that immediately call our attorneys at Goldman and Associates so that we can get you the results you need in difficult times. When you are injured it is much more than just getting your medical bills paid. You need to remember that these kinds of accidents can be traumatizing and damaging to someone’s mental health. The impact these accidents can have on someone can be long lasting, firework accidents are to be taken very seriously.

Conclusion

Michigan Family Law General Questions

Here at Goldman and Associates, we receive hundreds of questions from people all the time. That is why we have created a Youtube channel where we upload daily videos on various topics and matters regarding Michigan Law. Goldman and Associates have over 400 videos on Youtube, informing the public about everything relating to Michigan Law. In this blog, we will be going over a general overview of the most common questions asked from clients.

GENERAL FAMILY LAW Q AND A

What Does A Valid Legal Marriage Require?

A valid marriage in Michigan requires a marriage license and solemnization. The license must be acquired first. No blood tests are necessary, but you will be given educational materials on HIV and other STD’s. After applying for the license, there will be a 72 hour waiting period before you actually receive it.

A valid solemnization is simply a ceremony performed by a valid officiator. Any of the following can perform a valid marriage in Michigan:

An ordained minister (Priest, rabbi, imam, etc.)
Judges
Court clerks
Justices of the peace
Mayors of Michigan cities
Any civil officer with the power to administer and enforce the law.

Now that I am in the process of getting married, what can I do now to increase my odds of getting what I want in the event of a divorce?

It can be unpleasant to think about your happy marriage ending in a divorce, but sometimes that foresight is rewarding. If you find yourself contemplating such things, there are a couple of things that you can do now to hedge your bets.

Keep accurate documentation of all of the family finances. This is the information that will be used to determine spousal and child support, as well as the division of property. The last thing you want to do is leave that information ambiguous thus allowing your spouse and their attorney to submit their own numbers which might be more favorable to them
Take care how you allow the parental duties to be divided. If you are dead set on getting sole custody or joint custody, the last thing you should ever do is allow your spouse to be the only direct caregiver and relegate yourself to being the breadwinner. Shared parental responsibilities generally result in more equal shared custody in the event of a divorce.
If you and your spouse have any preferences about how a hypothetical divorce should take place, then you should record those preferences in a premarital agreement (also known as a pre -nuptial agreement or a prenup). A divorce judge is likely to make this agreement into the final divorce order even if the normal rules and standards for deciding the many facets of divorce would normally direct them to do something different. The only exception is child custody (and to a lesser extent child support) which will be determined primarily by the best interest of the child.

What Is a No Fault Divorce?

No-fault divorce means that you do not have to show any wrongdoing on the part of your soon -to-be former spouse in order to get a divorce. Just the basic requirement (a marriage broken beyond repair) is all that you need. However, fault may become relevant if any aspect of the divorce is contested.

If there is fault with one of the parties, and the judge decides to consider that fault in the divorce judgement, that party may get a less favorable outcome in terms of division of assets, alimony, or child custody. If the divorce is uncontested (see the question below), you will most likely be unable to use that person’s fault against them.

How Do I Start A Divorce?

To get the ball rolling, you need to file a complaint for divorce with the clerk at the family court. The complaint alleges basic facts about your divorce. It will also contain your initial proposal for the conditions of the divorce such as property division, custody, support, etc. This document should include the grounds for your divorce.

In order to file for divorce in Michigan you must be a resident of the state for at least 180 days (six months) and a resident of the county where you file for divorce for at least 10 days. After the residency requirement is met, and you file for divorce, you will be subject to a mandatory waiting period before the divorce may be finalized.

The waiting period is 60 days (two months) from the time papers are served if there are no children, 180 days (six months) if there are children. These are just the minimum timeframes, a contested divorce might take even longer.

Conclusion

We have covered the basic questions that most people have about divorce and custody. If you have any more questions make sure to check out our Youtube channel or give our office a call. It takes a professional to get the results that you want. The process requires the right attorneys so that you can get the outcome that you want.

High Asset Divorce In Michigan

Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage. In order to be able to obtain a divorce, you must meet all of the prerequisites in terms of residency before you can even file for divorce. However, just meeting the requirements to file for divorce is not enough. In order to successfully obtain a divorce in Michigan, you must convince a judge in a family court that your marital relationship has broken down beyond repair and that there is no chance of reconciling.

What Is A High Asset Divorce?

A high asset divorce is a divorce that involves a lot of property and where the parties are holding many stocks and investments. In order to file for divorce in Michigan you must be a resident of the state for at least 180 days (six months) and a resident of the county where you file for divorce for at least 10 days. An important thing to note is that both spouses do not need to participate in the divorce proceedings. While the person filing for divorce has to provide notice to the other spouse, the other party does not have to respond in any way unless they wish to contest some issue of the divorce. The other spouse’s permission is not required, and they cannot simply forbid it. In order for the other spouse to prevent the divorce, they must make their own demonstration to the judge that an irreconcilable breakdown in the marriage has not occurred.

What Do I Need For A High Asset Divorce?

It is extremely beneficial and important to hire a law firm that handles high asset divorces on a consistent basis rather than hiring someone to process papers and think that this is more cost effective. If you hire a law firm that isn’t accustomed to handling cases that involve millions of dollars, high value properties, or other assets, then you run the risk of this being handled poorly and not achieving the outcome you deserve. If you are in a situation where you have a lot of assets and will be filing for divorce, then you should make the smart decision to hire an experienced attorney who is familiar with this process. A high asset case requires an experienced attorney.

Dealing with a high asset divorce that includes property that has changed value, securities, etc requires that these cases be handled with the right timing. It is very important to time it in such a way so that you can fix your exposure at the beginning of your case and determine how much you are going to end up paying out. The main area of concern of many people is how much of the assets will I have left when the divorce process is over? You should keep in mind the timing of when you file impacts your ability to remain as financially stable as you need to be.

You will also need to remember to be straightforward with everything that you own. Don’t try to hide anything or put your money in different investments so you can have it all later, the court will find out. If you try to hide your assets and the court finds out things will not go well for you. The best thing to do is keep a list of all your assets and tell your attorney everything you have.

Conclusion

There is a huge difference between the complexity of a divorce case involving assets and a case with no assets. When there are a lot of assets involved there may be pension plans, multiple homes, or property, and these things might make it difficult to determine the true value. There may be assets that even have a fluctuating evaluation which can make it difficult when it comes to the division of these assets. When we divide assets, oftentimes there are assets whose value is a matter of dispute which can present challenges.
