FAQ
How much Does it Cost to Get a Divorce in Michigan? In Michigan, the average cost for a non-contested divorce can range from $1,200 to $1,500 with court filing fees and other legal documents. If your divorce is contested the costs can dramatically increase with a base price starting at $5,000.
The average timeline for most divorces in Michigan is about 60 days or two months. However, that estimation is dependent on a variety of factors. A more feasible estimate is between two and nine months.
Michigan is an equitable distribution state. This means courts will attempt to divide property and assets in a divorce in a fair and equal way but it doesn't mean that the assets will always be divided on a 50/50 basis.Separate property can become marital property if it is commingled with marital property.
Summary dissolution is the most cost-effective way to get divorced in California. There is less paperwork and only one filing fee. However, the couple must meet very specific requirements. Also, California requires a six-month waiting period to terminate any marriage, so summary dissolution does not expedite a divorce.
