Divorce in Michigan

Your Guide to Splitting Amicably (or Not)

Michigan is a no fault state in Divorce matters.  That means that neither party has to point fingers or demonstrate any wrong-doing to get divorced.  The Plaintiff, or the party filing the complaint, just has to show that things aren't working anymore.  Or, in legal terms, that there has been a breakdown of the marital relationship such that the bonds of matrimony cannot be repaired.   


Divorce is a legal process, that can be amicable or contested.  Amicable means you and your soon-to-be-ex are on the same page about everything – child custody, finances, the whole shebang. This makes things quicker and cheaper.

When matters are contested, the parties have some disagreement over major issues, such as:  

  • Child custody or support (who gets the kids, how much money is involved?)
  • Spousal support (financial aid for one spouse after the split)
  • Dividing property (who gets the house, car, etc.?)
  • Hidden assets (one spouse suspecting the other is hiding money)
  • Basically anything else causing major friction

It might take longer and cost more, but a good lawyer can help you navigate the process.

 The bottom line: Michigan offers a no-fault divorce system, but the process depends on whether you and your ex can see eye-to-eye.  This guide gives you a quick overview, but for specific advice, reach out to a qualified lawyer.
