Technically, legal separation is not recognized in Michigan. A couple may live separately and have their own agreements, but under the law they are still married and there are no legal limitations. However, there is a "separate maintenance" legal proceeding that may be filed.

The uncontested divorce process typically takes 2-6 months to finalize, depending on how quickly spouses can complete the necessary financial disclosures, reach an agreement on all matters, and navigate any court backlogs. Professional legal representation can expedite uncontested divorce proceedings.

In Michigan, a legal annulment is not based upon the length of time you have been married. A legal annulment in Michigan is based upon either the inability to marry at the time of the marriage, or fraud in the contract of marriage.

In Michigan, the grounds for an annulment are incapacity due to age, bigamy, incapacity due to mental or physical condition, duress, fraud, kinship, and improper ceremony. Most of the grounds for annulment in the State of Michigan are difficult to prove, and few annulments are granted for that reason.

Contested or Uncontested Divorce in Michigan Uncontested divorces are almost always cheaper and faster. Besides the petition and proposed separation agreement, the court may require other documents depending on the specifics of the marriage.

If one spouse suffered from a physical incapacity, defect or infirmity at the time of the marriage, the marriage may be annulled if a case is brought to court within two years of the marriage date.
