How long does it take to get divorced in Michigan?
Michigan requires a “cooling-off” period for a specific length of time before no-fault divorce can be granted. Under Michigan divorce law, there is a minimum requirements of time from the date of filing the Complaint for Divorce to the entry of the Judgment of Divorce. If a parties are getting divorced without kids, there is a 60 day wait period and, if there are children, there is a 180 days wait in Michigan. The clock starts running upon the filing of the complaint with circuit court. Sometimes, the judge will waive the six-month waiting period, if that appears to be in the children's best interests or there is a showing of undue hardship or compelling reasons.
What are the grounds for divorce in Michigan?
Michigan is a no-fault divorce state. When you file for divorce in Michigan, the divorce complaint needs to state that there has been a breakdown in the marriage that is beyond repair. The grounds for divorce in Michigan must be stated with evidence or testimony in court otherwise the court may dismiss the case.
What is a "no fault" divorce?
Michigan is a purely no-fault divorce state, which means that neither spouse has to prove blame or responsibility to end the marriage. The only question that must be shown is whether the marriage is “irretrievably broken (done)”, which simply means that there is no chance that the spouses want to continue the marriage.
Is there Alimony in Michigan?
In Michigan, alimony called Spousal Maintenance or Spousal Support awarded at the discretion of the judge. There is no right to alimony in Michigan. Rather, the judge considers a number of factors when determining whether alimony should be paid or received. At the LadyDivorceLawyers.com, the attorneys understand the factors that go into an alimony award.
Are Prenuptial Agreements Enforceable Michigan?
A divorce judge in Michigan may not enforce the prenuptial agreement if the person against whom enforcement is sought proves or shows:
-The spouse did not execute the agreement voluntarily; or
-The prenuptial agreement was unfair (grossly onesided) when it was signed and before execution of the agreement that person:
- Was not provided a fair and reasonable disclosure of the property or financial obligations of the other party.
What happens with retirement accounts and IRA in divorce?
When a divorce is before the court, unless the parties agree, the judge must divide all marital assets, including retirement accounts.
How are property and debts divided at divorce?
First you need to know what property is available for division. You may already know what property is owned by you and your spouse but your spouse may has a retirement benefit or account at work that you were not aware of OR your spouse may have a hidden assets. Once you file for a divorce, the court will allow you to conduct "discovery".
Michigan divides marital property based on equitable distribution. This means property is not necessarily divided equally but in a way that is just and reasonable. Keep in mine that divorce and family judges in Michigan have the discretion to divide property unevenly if required some fairness specially when a serious fault involved.
