Property Division under Michigan's Divorce Laws

Aside from child custody and visitation rights, most anxieties in divorce involve each party's right to property interests. In Michigan, marital property is divided equitably (how the court deems it is fair). There are several factors, including marital fault, which the court uses in determining what is fair. However, separate property - property not in the marital estate, such as inheritances or property acquired before the marriage and kept separate during the marriage - is not divided.
