What can I do if Spouse refuses to sign divorce papers?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Divorce lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
He does not have to sign paperwork for you to file for divorce. Once you have filed and served him with the paperwork, he has an opportunity to respond if he disagrees with anything you've requested. If he does not respond within the time permitted by law, you can ask the court to proceed by default (e.g. without his participation). If he does respond within the time and challenges anything you've requested, you can try to settle the case and if that does not work, you can ask the court to schedule a trial so the issues can decided and the divorce granted. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.

Is having an affair against the law?

Divorce lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
Yes I believe adultery is against Michigan law but that law is generally not enforced so I would forget it.

How do we divide assets if we were never married?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
The home and other significant assets can be divided based on a partnership theory, where each gets out a percentage based on their contribution. The good news is since there is no marriage, a judge and court may not be necessary for the division if you can agree. If you cannot, the house can be divided in what is called a suit to try title.
