Illustrative example — not a real client. Names and details are fictional.
goal
Prepare a complete Michigan uncontested divorce packet for a couple with no minor children who already agreed on property division.
challenge
The couple lived in different counties and were unsure where to file. They also didn't know which SCAO forms applied.
solution
An online intake captured residency, agreed terms, and asset details. We prepared the Complaint, Summons, Verified Statement, and proposed Judgment with filing instructions for the correct circuit court.
timeline
Day 1 intake → Day 5 draft delivered → Day 10 revisions → Day 14 final packet → Day 16 filed by client.
outcome
Paperwork was accepted by the clerk on first submission. The couple completed the 60-day statutory waiting period and finalized the divorce shortly after.
