Uncontested Divorce Lawyer in Macomb County
Divorce doesn’t have to mean war. If you and your spouse agree on the terms, you can skip the drama, save money, and move on. We help make that happen the right way, the first time.
What Is an Uncontested Divorce in Michigan?
An uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree on all the key terms: custody, support, property, debt without needing to go to trial.
It’s the simplest and fastest way to divorce in Michigan.
If you’re already on the same page, we’ll help you finalize everything and avoid unnecessary court complications.
Is an Uncontested Divorce Right for Me?
You’re probably a good fit if:
- You both agree to the divorce.
- You’ve worked out who gets what.
- There’s no major conflict over kids, money, or property
Still stuck on a few details? No problem.
Many couples get to an agreement faster with a little help from someone who’s done this 1,000+ times before.
What Do We Need to Agree On?
To qualify for an uncontested divorce, you must agree on:
- Child Custody & Parenting Time – Where the kids live. When each parent sees them. Who makes medical or school decisions..
- Child Support -Usually calculated by Michigan’s formula. Less about negotiation and more about numbers
- Property Division – House, cars, bank accounts, retirement savings — who keeps what?
- Debt Division – Mortgages, credit cards, loans — who pays for what?
- Spousal Support (Alimony) – If it’s paid, how much, and for how long.
If you disagree on even one thing like who gets the tax refund it’s technically a contested case.
But many start off rocky and become uncontested with the right guidance. That’s what we do.
Do I Need a Lawyer for an Uncontested Divorce?
Not legally. But here’s what most people don’t realize:
- Court forms don’t catch mistakes.
- They don’t tell you when you’re giving up money you didn’t know you had a right to
- They don’t fix custody schedules that won’t hold up later.
- They don’t get accepted when a key sentence is missing.
We’ve seen many DIY filings rejected and restarting the clock and costing more in the end.
We make sure it’s done right the first time.
How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Michigan?
