Michigan has no-fault divorce. You don't need a reason such as abandonment, etc. to get a divorce. You know when its over. Is it? If the answer is yes - call Bo! If the answer is maybe - please consider marriage counseling. Truly, the "grass is not greener on the other side." Fortunately, I have reasonable rates and I accept credit cards! In a short-term marriage you generally walk out with what you walked in with and half the appreciation of all marital assests. In a long-term marriage you generally split everything - including equity in the house, pensions, 401(k)’s and debts. Is there a large difference between you and your spouses’ income? If so, the Judge will probably award payment of some COBRA health benefits (worth up to +$18,000) and alimony! Maybe even the attorney fees. With that kind of money at stake it would be foolish to hire the cheapest attorney that you can find, or worse - use a divorce kit! "Penny wise - Pound foolish" still applies! There is such a great variation in what is possible - it is extremely important that you call and get an individualized answer to your situation. I have seen a million different solutions. It is likely that I have seen yours. Unlike some other well-known law firms, I never try to exaggerate the differences between the parties, or fight every attempt at compromise. I am confident that I know what is right. If I can't come to a reasonable agreement then I usually suggest binding arbitration. Therefore, only one out-of-a-thousand cases go to trial.
