Filing Guide

How to File for Divorce in Michigan

Divorce starts when one person (called the “petitioner”) fills out and files divorce papers with the court. Then, those papers have to be officially delivered (or “served”) to the other person (the “respondent”). After that, the court gives the respondent time to reply. If both people agree on things like money, property, and kids, the divorce can be easier and quicker. Once everything is sorted out, the judge signs the final divorce order, and the marriage is officially over.

1

File the Divorce Papers

One spouse files a petition or complaint for divorce with the court.

2

Serve the Other Spouse

The filed papers are officially delivered to the other spouse, who has a chance to respond.

3

Finalize the Divorce

If both spouses agree, they submit a settlement for approval. If not, the court may hold hearings before issuing a final divorce order.
