Family Law Guidance When What Matters Most Is on the Line
Family law issues are deeply personal. Divorce, custody disputes, and support concerns can feel overwhelming—especially when emotions are high and the future feels uncertain. Samouris Law Firm provides steady, compassionate guidance backed by decades of courtroom experience, helping Michigan families move through difficult transitions with clarity and strength.
Support Through Life’s Most Difficult Family Transitions
When family relationships change, legal decisions can shape your finances, your parental rights, and your day-to-day life for years to come. Representation focuses on protecting what matters most while reducing unnecessary conflict whenever possible. When cooperation isn’t an option, your interests are advanced firmly and decisively in court.

When the other side won’t be fair, the case is prepared for court with focus and resolve.
Michigan Family Law Knowledge That Informs Strategy
Michigan family law has specific rules that shape outcomes, including no-fault divorce, equitable—not equal—property division, and custody decisions based on statutory best-interest factors.

Common Family Law Questions
How does divorce work in Michigan?
Michigan is a no-fault state. Issues like property division, custody, and support are resolved separately.
Will custody decisions favor one parent?
Courts apply best-interest factors and consider many details; preparation matters.
Can support orders be changed later?
Yes, in certain circumstances. Modifications depend on changed conditions.
Do I have to file right away?
No. A consultation can clarify options without committing you to any action.
