Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Divorce
I am moving out of state and have just
filed for an uncontested divorce. My
spouse and I have agreed on everything
and there are no children or property
disputes. Do I still have to appear in
court?

Re: Divorce
If you are the one that filed as the petitioner, yes you need to be at court unless your spouse filed a counter petition. You need to be there to ask the judge to grant your petition and testify as to the agreement.
Re: Divorce
Not necessarily. Only one person must testify on the record (in front of the judge). It can be either of you. A few things must be done ahead of time--procedural things--to keep from having to come back. I practice in Wayne County (Westland/Livonia area office) and handle these kinds of divorces routinely. If you need a little free advice to stay on track don't hesitate to call.. 734.673.6111 or [email protected]
