Joseph Novosel

Joseph Novosel is a Michigan family law attorney who has more than 20 years of experience in family court. His practice focuses on divorce and related matters affecting parents, children, finances, and future planning. He assists clients with child custody, child support, alimony, and post-divorce estate planning while serving communities in St. Clair, Sanilac, and Macomb Counties. His work is centered on helping clients understand the legal process and address the practical issues that arise during family transitions.

Novosel earned a B.G.S. from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1982 and a J.D. from the University of Detroit in 1986. He was admitted to practice in Michigan in 1988. His academic background preceded a legal career that has included courtroom, research, prosecutorial, and administrative responsibilities. That combination of legal education and professional experience supports his ability to review facts carefully, identify the issues that matter, and guide clients through family court procedures with an informed perspective.

Novosel previously worked as a Circuit Court research attorney, a prosecutor, and a Tax Tribunal referee. Those roles gave him experience with legal research, case evaluation, courtroom procedure, and decision-making in contested matters. In private practice, he applies that background to divorce and family law cases involving custody, support, alimony, and post-judgment concerns. He works directly with clients to organize the facts, understand available options, and prepare for negotiations, hearings, or other steps required by the case.

Joseph Novosel provides family law representation with an emphasis on experience, accessibility, and practical guidance. His long involvement in family court and his earlier public-sector legal roles give him a broad view of how cases move through the legal system. He continues to represent individuals facing divorce and related family disputes, helping them address financial obligations, parenting issues, and post-divorce planning while keeping the legal process understandable and focused on the client’s circumstances.
