Did you know that many people have the misconception that spousal support is a thing of the past in Michigan? In reality, this particular issue is raised in almost every divorce.

When divorce terminates a long-term marriage, spousal support is used to support a former spouse who is unable to support himself or herself at a financial standard of living comparable to that during the marriage.

Spousal support must be decided on a case by case basis. However, caselaw establishes 14 factors in determining whether spousal support should be awarded and the amount of such an award:

- Parties’ past relations and conduct
- Length of the marriage
- Parties’ ability to work
- Source and amount of property awarded to the parties
- Parties’ age
- Ability to pay spousal support
- Parties’ present situation
- Parties’ need
- Parties’ health
- Prior standard of living of the parties
- Parties contributions to the joint estate
- Party’s fault in causing the divorce
- Cohabitation affects a party’s financial status
- General principles of equity.

How are debts divided in a divorce? Debts that one party acquired before the marriage are normally considered separate debts. Debts that were acquired during the marriage are normally considered marital debts. It doesn’t matter who made the purchase or accumulated the debt. However, as always, there are some exceptions to this rule. For instance, gambling debts, money spent on extramarital affairs and money spent for restitution in a criminal case are usually not considered a marital debt.

Although a settlement may require one or the other party to pay a given debt, he or she is still potentially liable to the third-party creditor for that debt if the other party does not pay it.

How do you respond if: A) You were just arrested on the side of the road? B) A neighbor called the police on you? C) You just receive a telephone call from a detective wanting to hear your side of the story?

Do two things:

1) Do not say anything to anyone, including the police, and
2) Call an attorney! We routinely handle all types of criminal matters and offer a strong and sympathetic representation while always striving to achieve the best possible result.
