Filing For Divorce In Wayne County
Michigan law requires at least one spouse to have lived in the state for 180 days and in Wayne County for 10 days before filing. The process begins at the Wayne County Circuit Court, where you must file a complaint for divorce. Residents near Novi should understand that Michigan:
- Operates under no-fault divorce laws
- Requires equitable distribution of marital assets
- Mandates consideration of multiple factors in custody decisions
- Implements a 60-day waiting period for childless couples
- Extends the waiting period to 180 days when children are involved
While the court provides resources, having skilled legal representation helps you understand your options and protect your rights throughout the process.
