S9 Ep73: What Is the First Step in Divorce in Michigan?

#ChooseGoldman Preparing for a divorce requires taking early, strategic actions to protect your rights and your assets. Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts follow a structured legal process that begins with detailed information gathering and formal filings to ensure a fair outcome for all parties involved. • Start by gathering comprehensive financial records, including tax returns and bank statements, to prevent assets from being hidden or overlooked. • Meet with an attorney early to evaluate your goals and determine a practical legal strategy based on the specific facts of your marriage. • File a formal complaint for divorce in the correct county to officially initiate the case and have a judge assigned to oversee the process. • Ensure the legal papers are properly served to your spouse through approved methods like certified mail or a court officer to establish notice. • Request temporary orders immediately if you need to freeze marital accounts or prevent the unauthorized sale of the family home.
