What's At Stake

A Poorly Negotiated Divorce in Bloomfield Hills Can Cost You Everything You've Built.

Most people don't realize how much they're leaving on the table until it's too late. These are the issues that define your financial future.

Business & Investment Valuation

Closely-held businesses, medical practices, and investment portfolios must be properly valued — including the "double dipping" issue where business value and spousal support overlap. The opposing attorney will try to undervalue what you've built.

Hidden Assets & Financial Forensics

High-net-worth divorces frequently involve undisclosed accounts, asset transfers, cryptocurrency holdings, and deliberate financial obfuscation. You need an attorney who knows exactly where to look — and who to call.

Executive Compensation & Deferred Benefits

RSUs, stock options, deferred compensation, clawback provisions, and pension plans are complex marital assets that require precise legal and financial analysis before any settlement is signed.

Luxury Real Estate & Equitable Division

From Turtle Lake to Tiverton to Franklin Village — high-value estates are analyzed under Michigan's Sparks v. Sparks equitable division framework. The division need not be equal, but it must be equitable. We know how to argue every factor in your favor.

The Questions You're Researching at 11pm

Updated for 2025–2026 Michigan family law changes.

My spouse already hired an attorney. Am I already losing? +
No — but the clock is running. The spouse who retains counsel first controls the early narrative and the initial financial disclosures. Contact us immediately. A free consultation costs you nothing. Waiting could cost you millions.
How does Michigan divide a medical practice or business? +
Through a formal valuation process governed by Michigan's equitable division standard under Sparks v. Sparks (440 Mich 141, 1992). Courts consider nine factors — including each party's contributions, earning ability, and health — to reach a result that is fair, not necessarily equal. Michigan courts also address the "double dipping" issue, where business income used for valuation may overlap with income available for spousal support. This requires both an experienced business appraiser and an attorney who knows how to argue valuation methodology in Oakland County.
What changed with child support in 2025? +
2025 Michigan Law
Michigan's updated Child Support Formula took effect January 1, 2025. The ordinary medical expense threshold dropped from 54 to 00 per child per year — meaning more out-of-pocket costs are now shared between parents. Childcare expenses now extend through age 13. For high-income households, the formula also gives courts additional discretion when combined income exceeds standard thresholds. If you have an existing order, the 2025 changes may justify a modification — but you must file a formal motion.
We signed a prenuptial agreement. Does it still hold? +
Pending Michigan Legislation
Every prenup should be reviewed in the context of current Michigan law. Michigan Senate Bill 160 — the Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act — is currently advancing through the legislature and would modernize how prenups are evaluated, including new standards around financial disclosure, duress, and independent representation at the time of signing. A prenup that seemed airtight five years ago may have vulnerabilities today. We review these agreements as part of every initial consultation.
Want a complete breakdown of the process? Read the Oakland County High-Asset Divorce Playbook →
What about cryptocurrency and digital assets? +
Digital asset tracing — including cryptocurrency wallets, NFTs, and online brokerage accounts — is now standard practice in high-net-worth Michigan divorce discovery. These assets are subject to the same disclosure requirements as traditional accounts. Our forensic accounting partners specialize in tracing digital holdings that opposing parties attempt to conceal or undervalue.
Can we keep this out of court and off the public record? +
Often, yes. Private mediation and binding arbitration allow complex estates to be resolved confidentially — away from the public record of Oakland County's 6th Circuit Court. Many of our highest-value cases settle through this path. It protects your reputation, reduces litigation costs, and gives both parties more control over the outcome.
What does a high-asset divorce actually cost in Michigan? +
It depends on complexity, contested issues, and whether the case proceeds to trial. Most of our Bloomfield Hills clients invest between $15,000–$75,000+ for full representation. The real question is: what does failing to protect your assets cost you? We discuss fee structure transparently at your free consultation — no surprises.
