Why Clinton Township Families Choose Ziulkowski & Associates, PLC
Choosing a family law attorney in Clinton Township means finding someone who stays engaged, communicates clearly, and pushes back when the other side isn’t cooperating. Those qualities show up in how we structure our practice, not just in how we describe it.
A Team That Reviews Your Case Every Day
Every morning, our full team reviews every active case on the docket. Your file gets attention daily, not only when a hearing is approaching. If your primary attorney is unavailable, another member of our team can step in without missing a beat because everyone is already current on your matter. That level of shared coverage is uncommon at firms our size and gives clients continuity.
Both the lead attorney and our paralegal staff stay actively engaged throughout each case. Verified client feedback specifically names attorneys and support staff for walking clients through the process during stressful situations. That two-layer engagement keeps communication clear and reduces the back-and-forth that frustrates clients at firms where a single point of contact goes quiet between filings.
Prepared to Litigate When It Matters
Clients facing aggressive opposing counsel have noted that our attorneys go head-to-head without backing down. We don’t push clients toward settlement out of convenience when the facts support pursuing a contested path. For families in contested custody situations or high-conflict divorce, that posture matters more than any credential on the wall.
Verified reviews across multiple platforms describe our firm as thorough, knowledgeable, and compassionate in complicated cases. Clients consistently report that they felt heard and informed throughout, with clear updates at each stage rather than silence between court dates.
Starting the Conversation
Our free initial consultation lets prospective clients discuss their situation, ask questions, and understand their options before making any decisions. A client questionnaire on our website helps us come to that first meeting prepared, so the conversation is focused and useful from the start. We serve clients throughout Macomb, Oakland, and St. Clair Counties, including those facing military divorce matters that require knowledge of both federal and Michigan state law.

Family Law Emergencies
Some family law situations require immediate action. If you believe you need a personal protection order or restraining order, don’t wait for the situation to escalate. Michigan family courts can issue emergency personal protection orders without the other party present when immediate danger is established. The sooner you reach out to a family law attorney in Clinton Township, the more time there is to assess your situation and respond before it worsens.
Grounds for Divorce in Michigan
Michigan is a no-fault divorce state. Filing requires only a showing that the marriage has broken down to the point where it can’t be preserved. No proof of wrongdoing is needed. Michigan also requires 180 days of state residency and 10 days of residency in the filing county before a case can be filed. If minor children are involved, a 180-day waiting period applies; without minor children, that period is 60 days.
A family law attorney from Ziulkowski & Associates, PLC in Clinton Township can walk you through how these rules can apply to your situation. With our team’s guidance, you can focus on what matters most: custody arrangements, spousal support, and fair asset division, without getting lost in procedural requirements.
