Considering Divorce in Michigan? Why Triton Legal Should Be Your First Call
Are you thinking about filing for divorce in Bay City, Midland, Saginaw, or anywhere in Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region? Michigan’s divorce system is complex—especially when it comes to issues like custody, property division, and spousal support. At Triton Legal, we understand the local court landscape and your stakes. Here’s why we should be your first call.
Michigan Divorce: What You Need to Know
No-Fault Divorce
Michigan allows divorce without proof of wrongdoing—only the assertion that the marriage has “irretrievably broken down.” This simplifies filing, but issues like alimony or asset division may still consider each spouse’s behavior.
Residency Requirements
To file, at least one spouse must have lived in Michigan for ≥180 days and in the county for ≥10 days prior to filing.
Waiting Periods
At least 60 days before finalizing a divorce without minor children.
180 days if minor children are involved—though courts can shorten this for hardship.
Key Divorce Issues
Property Division is based on equitable distribution—not always equal, but fair.
Spousal Support (alimony) depends on factors such as length of marriage, financial standing, and conduct.
Child-Related Issues: Parenting time, custody, and support must be included and are guided by “best interests of the child.”
