Divorce and family law matters can affect nearly every part of a person's life, including children, housing, property, finances, and plans for the future. Attorney Kim D. Johnson provides experienced divorce and family law representation to individuals and families throughout Downriver, Wayne County, Metro Detroit, and Southeast Michigan.
From his office in Trenton, Attorney Johnson works directly with clients to understand their family circumstances, explain the Michigan family court process, and help them make informed decisions during periods of significant change.
DIVORCE REPRESENTATION FOR DOWNRIVER FAMILIES
Every divorce is different. Some spouses can agree on most of the important terms and need assistance completing the legal process. Others face disagreements involving children, property, support, debt, or the family home.
Attorney Johnson represents clients in contested and uncontested Michigan divorces. He helps clients identify the issues that must be resolved, understand their legal options, prepare the necessary documents, and work toward an outcome that addresses both their immediate needs and their future responsibilities.
Divorce cases may involve:
Property and debt division
The marital home and other real estate
Bank accounts, investments, and retirement assets
Business and professional interests
Child custody and parenting time
Child support and spousal support
Separation and settlement agreements
Post-judgment enforcement or modification
CHILD CUSTODY AND PARENTING TIME
Decisions involving children are often the most important and emotionally difficult part of a family law case. Michigan custody and parenting-time matters require careful attention to each child's needs, family relationships, living arrangements, school schedule, and the ability of the parents to make and carry out important decisions.
Attorney Johnson assists parents with child custody, parenting time, and related family court proceedings. He helps clients understand the factors involved in Michigan custody decisions and works with them to develop practical arrangements that account for their children's wellbeing and the realities of family life.
CHILD SUPPORT AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT
Divorce and separation can create immediate questions about household expenses and financial stability. Depending on the circumstances, a family law case may involve child support, spousal support, medical expenses, childcare costs, or other financial responsibilities.
Attorney Johnson helps clients understand the financial information relevant to their case, the support issues that may need to be resolved, and the legal process for requesting, reviewing, enforcing, or modifying a support order.
PROPERTY AND FINANCIAL ISSUES
Dividing property during a divorce may involve much more than deciding who keeps particular belongings. Clients may need to address a home, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement benefits, investments, debts, tax concerns, or property acquired before or during the marriage.
Attorney Johnson works with clients to identify the assets and obligations involved in their marriage, gather the relevant information, and evaluate proposed property settlements. His goal is to help clients understand both the immediate and long-term effects of the decisions made during their divorce.
PRENUPTIAL, POSTNUPTIAL, AND SEPARATION AGREEMENTS
Clear written agreements can help couples define financial expectations, protect particular property interests, or resolve the terms of a separation or divorce.
Attorney Johnson assists clients with prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, separation agreements, and divorce settlement agreements. He explains the legal significance of the proposed terms and helps clients consider how an agreement may affect their property, finances, and future responsibilities.
PERSONAL PROTECTION ORDERS
When threats, harassment, stalking, or domestic conflict create concerns about personal safety, a person may need information about seeking or responding to a personal protection order.
Attorney Johnson assists clients with Michigan personal protection order matters and related family law concerns. Because urgent circumstances may require prompt action, prospective clients should contact the office directly and provide any known hearing dates or existing court deadlines.
POST-JUDGMENT MODIFICATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT
Family circumstances can change after a divorce or custody judgment has been entered. A parent may relocate, a work schedule may change, a child's needs may develop, or one party may fail to follow an existing order.
Attorney Johnson represents clients in post-judgment family law matters involving custody, parenting time, support, enforcement, and modification. He helps clients determine whether court action may be appropriate and what information will be needed to present the issue.
DIRECT GUIDANCE FROM AN EXPERIENCED LOCAL ATTORNEY
Attorney Johnson began his legal career as an assistant Wayne County prosecutor and has spent more than 30 years in private practice. His original private law office was in Lincoln Park, and he now practices from an office on West Jefferson Avenue in Trenton.
Clients work directly with Attorney Johnson throughout their legal matter. He provides straightforward explanations, practical advice, and representation grounded in decades of experience with Michigan law and the Downriver communities.
