Domestic Violence Lawyer

Serving Detroit, Ann Arbor and all of Michigan

Although Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, state law provides the opportunity for a divorcing spouse to file a separate complaint on grounds of domestic violence, so that the court can consider all of the facts in the case when issuing orders for child support, alimony or maintenance, property division, and so forth.

If domestic violence is a factor in your divorce, you can file a domestic violence complaint in addition to the primary petition for divorce.

This is something of a departure from the no-fault approach, but the courts recognize that domestic violence is a significant enough issue that it must be taken into consideration in some cases.
