Frequently Asked Questions

How does Michigan divide property in a divorce?

Michigan is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Courts consider factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, earning capacity, and the needs of any minor children. Separate property — assets owned before marriage or received as gifts or inheritance — is generally excluded. An attorney can identify what is marital property and advocate for a distribution that reflects your contributions and circumstances.

Can a non-citizen spouse protect their legal rights in a Michigan divorce?

Yes. Non-citizen spouses have the same legal rights as citizens in Michigan divorce proceedings, including rights to marital property, spousal support, and custody. Immigration status does not reduce your entitlements under Michigan family law. An attorney who understands both family law and immigration can also advise on how divorce may affect visa or green card status and help protect both sets of interests simultaneously.

What is child support enforcement in Michigan?

Michigan child support orders are enforceable through the Friend of the Court (FOC) system in each county. Enforcement mechanisms include wage garnishment, license suspension, contempt proceedings, and tax refund intercepts. If your existing support order is not being paid, an attorney can file a motion to enforce and seek make-up payments for arrears accumulated during non-payment.
