Filing for Divorce in Grand Rapids Michigan
Michigan has adopted the concept of "no fault" divorce, and has eliminated the use of "grounds" for divorce. Under Michigan law one must simply prove that there has been "a breakdown in the marital relationship to the extent the objects of matrimony have been destroyed, and there remains no reasonable likelihood the marriage can preserved." Since one party would theoretically have little difficulty proving that the marriage has broken down and cannot be saved, few people ever contest the granting of a divorce itself, and judges almost never deny a divorce. However, "fault" can still play a part in the determination of custody, property settlement, and spousal support.
