Common Questions About Filing for Divorce

Do I need a reason to file for divorce in Michigan?

No. Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you only need to indicate that the marriage has broken down and cannot be repaired.

How long does the divorce process take?

It depends. An uncontested divorce can take as little as 60 days. Contested divorces can take several months or more depending on issues like custody and asset division.

Do we need an attorney if we agree on everything?

An attorney will prepare the required Judgement based on your agreement.

Will I have to go to court?

Some court appearances are likely, especially in contested cases. We’ll walk you through what to expect and represent you at every stage in Lenawee County courts.

What happens to our house and other property?

Michigan follows equitable distribution. This means that property is divided fairly, though not always equally. We help you pursue a fair resolution.

How is child custody decided?

Custody decisions are based on the child’s best interests, considering factors like emotional ties, stability, and parental involvement. We advocate for arrangements that serve your family’s needs.
