The Detroit
divorce law firm of Paul J.
Tafelski, P.C.
provide quality,
individualized
representation to clients
with the goal of meeting
both their short-term and
long-term goals.
The Bloomfield
Hills-based law firm has
more than a decade of
experience in representing
clients from
Detroit and throughout
Michigan, including the
Oakland County
communities of
Troy,
Novi,
Royal Oak,
Bloomfield Hills,

Farmington Hills,
West Bloomfield and
Birmingham.
The family law attorneys
of Paul J. Tafelski, P.C.
have a deep understanding of
Michigan family law and put
their skills and dedication
to work for clients in the
following areas:
- Divorce:
The parties agree on
division of marital
assets, spousal support
and the custody and
support of their
children in
uncontested divorces,
while
contested divorces
must be litigated in the
courtroom.
- Asset
division: If the
parties cannot agree on
how to divide their
marital property, a
Michigan court will do
it for them in a process
that’s called “equitable
distribution.” This can
be complex when the
marital estate includes
business assets, pension
plans and stocks and
other financial
instruments.
- Child
custody: When a
marriage dissolves, one
party will receive
physical custody of the
children, and the other
will have visitation or
“parenting time.” The
parties generally share
authority to make
decisions on education
and medical care.
- Child
support: The amount
of child support varies
according to the
guidelines established
under Michigan law, and
the amount can always be
modified based on a
change in circumstances.
- Spousal
support: Either a
husband or wife in a
separation and divorce
may be eligible to
receive temporary or
permanent spousal
support in either a lump
sum or a periodic
payment plan.
- Domestic
violence: Domestic
violence can factor into
spousal support, child
custody and child
support. A victim can
seek security through
filing for a personal
protective order.
- Prenuptial
and postnuptial
agreements: Michigan
law recognizes validly
drafted agreements,
reached before marriage
or after the marriage
falls apart, that can
address matters such
as spousal support and
asset division.
The Detroit family
lawyers at
Paul J. Tafelski, P.C.,
emphasize
mediation over
litigation because of the
firm’s belief that
alternative dispute
resolution saves clients
time, money, and emotional
stress. However, where
divorce issues cannot be
resolved through mediation,
the firm will be ready and
willing to fight for their
clients’ rights and
interests in court.
