FAQ
Alimony law in the Michigan statutes does not give an amount of time in Michigan to be married to get alimony. The court does take the length of the marriage, along with other factors, when determining spousal support. A party is more likely to be awarded permanent support for long-term marriages.
In Michigan, anyone who is married, no matter how soon after marriage they divorce, is entitled to an equitable share of the marital assets. Because divorce settlements involving property division in Michigan rely on the rule of “equitable distribution,” it is unlikely that the marital property will be divided 50/50.
An award of spousal support isn't automatic in a Michigan divorce case. While there is no legal requirement for spousal support, it is awarded on a case-by-case basis depending on the facts of the matter and the needs of the dependent spouse.
In instances of divorce after 10 years of marriage in Michigan, an ex-spouse has the right to claim up to half of the other's workers' compensation benefits, Social Security benefits, and military pension benefits.
A divorce case begins when the Plaintiff files a summons, a complaint, and other required papers with the court. You can prepare the forms you need with the Do-It-Yourself Divorce tool.
In Michigan, the court evaluates various factors such as each party's income, age, health, and the duration of the marriage to determine the necessity, amount, and duration of spousal support.
