Michigan Alimony Law Overview

Michigan awards alimony based on 12 statutory factors. Courts have broad discretion and there is no fixed formula. Michigan considers fault — a spouse who caused the breakdown of the marriage through adultery or other misconduct may receive less alimony.

Formula & Calculation Approach

12 factors: past relations and conduct, length of marriage, ability to work, source and amount of property, age, earning ability, obligations, needs, prior standard of living, whether the parties will be supporting others, and general principles of equity.

Duration Rules in Michigan

Variable. Short marriages rarely result in long-term alimony. Long marriages may result in permanent alimony.
