FAQ
A parent must file the motion and proposed agreement with the court to change the support order. Instructions and forms to use in preparing a uniform child support order are available at es/Domestic-Relations.
There are two ways to change the terms of your divorce judgement: filing an appeal and requesting a modification. In some circumstances, a divorced spouse can appeal their final divorce judgment. An appeal can be as a matter of right or by leave of the court. Either way, your time frame is very short, only 21 days.
Under ERISA, a named beneficiary cannot be changed by the act of divorce. Therefore, if a policyholder lives in a revocation-upon-divorce state, names their spouse as their life insurance beneficiary, and then gets divorced, their ex spouse remains as their beneficiary.
Family Name Changes Complete and file the Petition for Name Change with the family division of the circuit court in the county where you and your child or family live. Anyone listed on the petition must have lived in that county for at least one year. Pay the fees associated with a name change.
Generally, Michigan courts will consider modifications to a divorce decree when an individual can demonstrate a change in circumstances that impacts the divorce terms. For example, if you have recently lost your job, you may wish to modify the amount of child or spousal support you must pay.
Abatement of Support (Payer Incapacitated): The current support ordered for the minor child(ren) will be abated to zero because it is reported that the payer will be incapacitated for at least 180 days due to injury or illness and cannot pay the amount ordered.
Michigan spousal support payments can be modified based on changed circumstances unless the parties agree in the judgment that it is non-modifiable. Most judgments of divorce provide that spousal support will be payable for a set number of years, with the amount being modifiable based on a change of circumstances.
There are two types of appeals in Michigan family law, appeal by right and an appeal by leave. Only final orders are appealable by right, which includes most divorce judgments and other post-divorce court orders. Appeal by leave requires permission from the higher court before an appeal can be filed.
