After Filing a Complaint for Divorce
After a Complaint for Divorce is filed, the Court will impose certain deadlines and require attendance at specific hearings to ensure timely resolution of your case. Discovery is conducted by the parties after the Complaint is filed. The purpose of discovery is to determine the incomes, assets, and the liabilities of the married couple. The most highly contested issues seen during divorce litigation have been spousal support and property division. Michigan Courts are required to equitably divide the marital estate and a examine a litany of factors in determining spousal support awards. These inquiries are factually intensive and require detailed analysis of your specific situation. Often mediation is utilized by our divorce attorneys to efficiently resolve property and support issues between the parties. Our experienced divorce attorneys provide a free initial consultation to answer your specific questions.

If child custody arrangements are not agreed between the parents, then the Court must decide these arrangements.
