Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in Michigan?
To file for divorce in Michigan, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least 180 days immediately before filing. You must also have lived in the county where you file for at least 10 days. These requirements are set by Michigan law.
How long does a divorce take in Berkley, Michigan?
Michigan law requires a 60-day waiting period from the date of filing before a divorce can be finalized. If the couple has minor children, the waiting period is 6 months. The total time can be longer if the case is contested or requires court hearings.
How is property divided in a Michigan divorce?
Michigan uses equitable distribution, meaning property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. The court considers factors like the length of the marriage, each spouses income, and contributions to the marital estate. Separate property owned before marriage is generally not divided.
