Researchers believe that holidays have a big impact on when a couple will file for divorce. Some couples like to use the holiday seasons to attempt to work out their problems. Others simply want to keep things somewhat normal for their children while they are home on break. While there is no perfect time to file for divorce, in between holidays seems to be ideal so that everyone has the chance to get used to the new family dynamic before the next holiday season.

A family law attorney can help someone divorcing in Michigan achieve the settlement terms that best serves the interests of the client and his or her family by assisting with negotiations or litigating matters in court.
