How Property is Divided in Michigan

In the U.S., there are two models of property division: equitable distribution and community property. Michigan has an equitable distribution system. This means that, in a divorce, marital property is divided in a just and fair manner. This isn’t always 50/50.

Spouses can reach a settlement on property division or have a court decide on it. If asset division goes before a court, the court will consider a wide range of factors in determining what is most fair. Our lawyers can help you pursue a just division through negotiation, litigation or other methods.

Is All Property Subject to Division in a Divorce?

Under Michigan law, in most cases, only marital property is divided in a divorce. Separate property is generally not subject to division. Common types of separate property include:

  • Property a spouse obtained before a marriage
  • Property named separate in a prenuptial/postnuptial agreement
  • Gifts to one spouse
  • Inheritances granted to one spouse

Our division of assets lawyers can help you understand which side of the marital/separate divide the various assets in your divorce are likely to be on and what this means for your options.

Identifying and Valuing Marital Property

Getting a complete and accurate picture of what marital property you and your spouse have and what it is worth is a key step in securing a fair division. It can, however, be challenging. This can particularly be the case if there are a lot of assets or if the assets are complex in nature.

The right guidance can make all the difference. Our team is here to assist you with every step of identifying and accurately valuing the marital property in your divorce.
