Child Support – How is it calculated in Michigan?
Child support is determined by a formula encompassed in the Michigan Child Support Guidelines. The formula takes into account several factors including the income of each parent, the parenting time schedule, tax deductions, health insurance costs, and the number of children. We are here to assist you in understanding these important factors as you go
Watch Out for Gifts and Other Transfers
Medicaid is a complicated program and process to go through. It’s not usual for it to take multiple months and in some counties, provide account statements going back five years. If a gift or other transfer was made within five years of filing for Medicaid, it’ll only complicate the process further. Medicaid treats certain transfers
PUT DOWN THE PHONE
With an endless supply of entertainment, technology and communication abilities at our fingertips, it seems almost impossible to detach ourselves from mobile devices for any significant period of time. Even while driving, the temptation to respond to a text message or an email is sometimes too strong to overcome. To help fight the urge to
Medicaid and Reverse Mortgages: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
You or your parent may want to live at home as long as possible. But, that sometimes isn’t financially feasible due to the cost of in-home care. Fortunately, there’s a planning option in situations like these. It’s called a “reverse mortgage.” It’s essentially when a loan is taken out against the equity in the home

Protecting Your Children: The Importance of Having a Power of Attorney
The high school class of 2023 has officially graduated, and parents are getting ready to send their children off into the real world—whether that be to work, college, or a different adventure. Many young adults will be moving out of their parent’s homes for the first time, as they attempt to navigate adulthood. Parents want to
Medicaid Planning for Single Persons
The options for protecting assets from Medicaid and the cost of long-term care differs depending on if you’re single (i.e. not married or have survived your spouse) or are married. Also, the planning differs depending on when you need care. In other words, if you can live independently for five years, there are certain planning
Family Ownership Succession: Which Option is Best for You?
Family ownership succession can happen between a number of different people or groups. Parents may transfer ownership to one or more of their children. Siblings may transfer ownership to each other or the next generation (i.e. nieces and nephews). Grandparents may even skip a generation and transfer ownership to a grandchild if their children aren’t
Non-Competition agreements might have a dim future
Employers commonly require employees to sign “non-competition” agreements. There are various forms of these agreements, but typically they prevent an employee from working in the same industry for a period of time (such as a year), within a certain geographic area, after their employment ends. The agreements, to be enforceable, must be narrowly written to
Custody – What exactly does that mean?
In Michigan there are two types of custody, legal and physical custody. Legal custody is the ability to make major decisions for your child(ren) such as education, religion and healthcare.
