The support process with an Arab lawyer
Our Arabic-speaking support attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Dearborn Heights.
1
Income Analysis
We gather complete income information for both parents — W-2s, tax returns, business records, and overseas income. For self-employed parents or those with cash businesses, forensic analysis may be needed.
2
Guideline Calculation
Each state has a formula based on both parents' income and the custody arrangement. We calculate the guideline amount and identify any applicable deviations (medical costs, travel expenses, special needs).
3
Negotiation or Hearing
We negotiate with the other parent for a fair amount or present the case to a judge. Deviations from guidelines must be justified. We advocate for amounts that reflect the true financial picture.
4
Order Entry & Enforcement
The court enters the support order, typically with income withholding (automatic deduction from wages). We ensure the order is properly entered and set up for enforcement.

Read what Arab American families in Dearborn Heights say about our Arabic-speaking support attorneys.
Client review
“My divorce was complicated because we had assets in both the US and Lebanon. My lawyer understood how to handle international property division and got me a fair settlement. She also spoke Arabic which made explaining sensitive family matters so much easier.”
Dalal F.

Client review
“My ex wanted to take our daughter to Yemen. I was terrified. My lawyer got an emergency order within 48 hours blocking travel. Then she fought for full custody and won. I could explain my fears about my daughter's safety in Arabic — that made all the difference in how the case was presented.”
Fatima G.

Client review
“My husband refused to pay the $35,000 mahr from our Islamic marriage contract. Michigan courts don't always recognize these. My lawyer presented it as a valid prenuptial agreement and the judge ordered payment. She knew exactly how to frame it in American legal terms.”
