The Michigan Uniform Support Petition (MUST) is a legal form used to ask the court for an order to require a person to financially support a spouse, child, or other dependent. This petition is used by individuals who are seeking a court order to require financial support from someone else. The MUST is available in two forms: the Original Petition and the Supplemental Petition. The Original Petition is used to initiate a support action, while the Supplemental Petition is used for modification or enforcement of an existing support order. Both forms must be completed with accurate and up-to-date information, and then filed with a Family Division court. After filing, a court date will be scheduled for the petition to be heard and a decision will be made. The decision may include a support order requiring one party to provide financial support for the other, and may also include other details such as medical insurance coverage, child care costs, or educational expenses. The court may also order other related matters such as spousal maintenance and/or attorney fees.
