What Is a Divorce?
When spouses decide to end their marriage, they need to obtain a divorce. A divorce is a legal process in which the marriage contract is ended. To file for divorce, you must have been married for at least one year.
During the divorce process, a judge will determine the issues of:
A judge will divide the parties' assets based on what is fair and just based on the facts and circumstances of the case. A divorce will also affect the parties' debts and obligations. The court will divide a couple's property and debts based on what is fair and just based on the facts and circumstances of the case.
What Does a No-Fault Divorce State Mean?
In Michigan, you do not have to state a reason for filing for divorce other than irreconcilable differences. The judge will still take into account factors like abuse and neglect when reviewing the pleadings and determining the division of assets. Each spouse will need to obtain their own attorney. The Michigan Rules of Ethics prohibit representing two parties on opposite sides of the litigation.
Nor does Michigan have a requirement that you have to attend counseling before seeking a divorce. A Michigan divorce attorney can start the divorce proceedings on your behalf. You can still go through the divorce proceedings even if your spouse doesn’t want to get a divorce. After we serve your spouse, they have 21 days to respond. If your spouse doesn’t respond, then a default judgment will be entered in your favor.

A divorce will determine the amount of support one spouse will pay to the other based on the financial needs of the dependent spouse and the ability of the supporting spouse to pay. If the couple share any children and the parents can’t work out a custody and support agreement, the judge may determine these as well.
