How Family Law Document Preparation Works in Michigan
Divorce, custody, parenting time, and child support cases are filed in the Family Division of the Circuit Court for the county where you or your spouse lives. Many counties route support and parenting issues through the Friend of the Court (FOC).
Typical filing fees: $175 (no minor children) – $255 (with minor children); fee waivers available for qualifying filers (set by the court, not by us)
- • Statutory waiting period: 60 days (no minor children) / 6 months (with minor children).
- • Most counties require at least one brief court appearance to enter the final judgment.
- • Name change petitions are filed in the county Probate Court, not Circuit Court.
- • Wayne County (Detroit) — Coleman A. Young Municipal Center; high case volume, longer scheduling windows.
- • Oakland County (Pontiac) — strict FOC procedures; e-filing available for many family-law motions.
- • Macomb County (Mt. Clemens) — county-specific scheduling order; parenting plan template often required.
- • St. Clair County (Port Huron) — local FOC handles support and parenting time enforcement.
Procedures and fees vary by county and may change. We prepare documents based on the information you provide; final filing acceptance is determined by the court.
