Madera, CA Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You can still be divorced. Your complaint will need to allege that your estranged husband is not the father for whatever reason (sounds like non-access). This is for both your benefit because both of you will want the final judgment to say he is not the father. Chances are he won't contest that. Assuming you are going to be the plaintiff you need to include that allegation in your complaint.

The court will send you a Notice of Entry of Judgment of Dissolution showing the date you are single. After that date has passed you can remarry. That date should also be shown on the Judgment form.

In Michigan, there are several different factors a Court looks at in determining whether a party is entitled to "spousal support" (the technical term for "alimony" in Michigan). Three of the most important factors are: 1) the length of the marriage; and 2) the parties' respective incomes; and 3) the ability of the parties to work. Your lack of income may help you defend against a spousal support claim, but you should be prepared to explain to the Court why you aren't working (i.e., due to health problems, or lack of job opportunities despite looking for a job, etc.)
