Divorce Waiting Period | Grand Rapids Divorce Attorney

Michigan Divorce Waiting Periods

In Michigan, the waiting period from filing to finalizing a divorce depends on whether minor children are involved:

• 2 months if there are no minor children.
• 6 months if minor children are involved.

The 6-month period can be shortened to 2 months if the court finds good cause, such as military deployment.

Shortening the Waiting Period

To shorten the waiting period, all parties must agree on the final divorce terms and file a motion with the court. The judge has discretion to grant or deny the request based on the circumstances.
