Michigan · Uncontested divorce

Do you qualify for an uncontested divorce in Michigan?

An uncontested Michigan divorce fits couples who agree and can wait out the applicable period. Minor children lengthen the process and add Friend of the Court steps but don't require conflict; some situations still call for a lawyer.

  • One spouse meets the 180-day state and 10-day county residency rule.
  • You agree on dividing property and debts.
  • If you have minor children, you agree on custody, parenting time, and support.
  • If custody is disputed or your spouse won't participate, get legal advice first.
