Quist Law Firm, P
Courtney Quist is an experienced family law attorney who will guide you through divorce, parenting time modifications, and other family law needs. Our goal is to find a resolution to your family law issue that is tailored to meet the needs of your family. A negotiated modification of custody and parenting time is in the best interests of your family.

Attorney Courtney Quist has over 24 years of experience, specializing in family law, divorce, custody, and post judgment procedures. I believe that every family is unique, and a resolution for one family will not necessarily serve the needs of another family. There is no 'one size fits all.' Families have special needs children, special needs adults, unusual work hours and other unique circumstances.

Quist Law Firm, PLLC provides estate planning and probate services for western Michigan and Kent and Ottawa County. We can help you draft legal wills and trusts. We're help to help you plan for the future of your family finances and asset allocation.
Services
At Quist Law Firm, PLLC, I believe that people file for divorce or proceed with a custody issue in order to improve things for their families - not to escalate the conflict.
During my practice, I have rarely seen a family benefit when anger or egos take over the process.
My job is to help you respond effectively in order to make the most out of your circumstances.
It is far more effective to respond to a situation and not just react to escalation tactics and emotions.
Even the most amicable or uncontested family law matter can be difficult for the parties involved, particularly on children.
The collaborative process enables couples who have decided to separate or end their marriage to work with their lawyers and, on occasion, other family professionals in order to avoid the uncertain outcome of court and to achieve a settlement that best meets the specific needs of both parties and their children without the underlying threat of litigation.
The collaborative process transforms your relationship from married partners to co-parents, allies and possibly friends.
The process, while not ignoring the law, is need-based, not position-based.
Mediation is a voluntary, out-of-court method of resolving disputes or conflict between two or more parties.
It is cheaper, quicker and easier than a litigated divorce.
In mediation, a third party, the mediator, helps you negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement.
Mediation can be done with or without attorneys.
I am a trained mediator and can mediate your case.
Mediation is particularly effective for conflict resolution as it is far more structured, is private and confidential and has the advantage of allowing both parties to suggest agreement solutions that would not normally be accepted in a court of law.
I believe that your lawyer's first job should be to respond effectively to your family's needs - not react to specific situations that may cause you concern.
I have helped hundreds of people get through the divorce process as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
Like any legal matter involving the courts, divorce isn't always clean and easy.
The truth is, many people come into the process expecting more than what the courts will allow or more than what they are entitled to under the law.
In divorce, post-divorce litigation and paternity matters, no issue can be more contentious than child custody and parenting time.
If you need help resolving the often complex and emotional issues around child custody, parenting time rights, and child support in western Michigan, I can help.
In Michigan it is essential that you are represented in child-custody and parenting-time matters.
The differing statutes, case law, and legal standards apply equally to parties who choose to be unrepresented.
