Serving Taylor and Wayne County from our Dearborn office, about 15 minutes away.
LegalSolv represents Taylor clients in family law matters. Taylor is a Downriver community in western Wayne County, with local cases heard at the 23rd District Court on Goddard Road. Because our office is about 15 minutes away in Dearborn, you get a Wayne County firm that knows the local courts and procedures without a long drive across Metro Detroit.
Divorce (including high-asset), child custody, child support, spousal support, prenuptial agreements, and personal protection orders.
The same attorney who takes your call handles your case from the first consultation through resolution, whether the matter settles, is negotiated, or has to be argued in court.
Divorce, custody, and support cases for Taylor families are decided by the Family Division of the Wayne County Circuit Court at the Lincoln Hall of Justice in Detroit. Michigan requires a waiting period before a judgment is entered, 60 days with no minor children and six months when children are involved. Custody and parenting time are decided under the best-interest factors set by Michigan statute.
Knowing the right venue early matters. It sets the deadlines, the filing requirements, and the judges your case will be in front of, and it is one of the first things we sort out for a Taylor client.
You do not need to come to Dearborn to get started. We handle the first consultation by phone or video, meet at the 23rd District Court or the Wayne County courthouse on hearing days, and keep you updated directly rather than through a case manager. Our work is done in English and Arabic, which matters for many families across Wayne County.
For the full detail on how we approach these cases, see our Family Law practice page, or call (313) 425-5555 to talk through your situation.

Michigan has a mandatory waiting period of 60 days for divorces without minor children and 6 months when minor children are involved. Uncontested divorces can finalize at the minimum waiting period. Contested divorces with disputed assets, custody, or support issues can run 6 months to 2 years depending on complexity.
No. Michigan is an equitable distribution state. Marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Judges have broad discretion to consider the length of the marriage, each spouse's contributions, earning capacity, and fault when dividing assets. The split often lands near 50/50, but not always.
Michigan courts decide custody using the 12 'best interests of the child' factors codified in MCL 722.23. Those factors include emotional bonds, capacity to provide care, mental and physical health, the home environment, school records, and (for older children) the child's preference. Both legal custody (decision-making) and physical custody (where the child lives) are decided separately.
