Getting A Divorce In Michigan? Know Your Options

While each divorce begins with a Complaint for Divorce and ends with a Judgment of Divorce, today you and your spouse can choose how you come to an agreement through different process options, including some options that were not previously available. Michigan allows for collaborative divorce, summary divorce, divorce agreements reached through mediation, agreements reached through arbitration, or a traditional divorce process.
