We only
provide this information as a courtesy. This is not meant to replace
legal advice.
When we receive your
information, we will forward your case to one of our Michigan paralegals
for processing. Michigan courts require all family law cases be
filed on court approved forms. Our paralegals will make sure your
papers are prepared on the correct forms.
RESIDENCY
One of the
spouses must be and have been a resident of Michigan for 180 days
and a resident of the county where the divorce is filed for at least
10 days.
Special
Circumstances: Plaintiff may file for divorce in any county
in the state without meeting the 10-day residency requirement if
the defendant was born in or is a citizen of a foreign country and
there are minor children in the marriage that are at risk of being
taken out of the country by the defendant.

A breakdown of the marriage relationship to the extent that the
objects of matrimony have been destroyed and there remains no reasonable
