Michigan divorce picture

“We realize how difficult divorce and child custody matters can be. At Femminineo Attorneys PLLC, we are committed to making this difficult process as easy to deal with as possible”

Oakland Township

Femminineo Attorneys PLLC has been handling the divorce cases of Oakland Township residents for over 40 years. Our divorce attorneys make regular appearances in the Oakland County courts to help our clients manage every issue surrounding their divorce case, from child and spousal support matters to child custody and parenting time.

Early on in a Michigan divorce case, status and settlement conferences occur in order to help the divorce move forward and closer to settlement. When both parties in a divorce have retained lawyers individually, the attorneys – and sometimes the soon-to-be ex-husband and wife themselves – meet with one of the judge’s referees in a status conference. A settlement conference is similar to a status conference but instead of meeting with a judge’s referee, the parties and attorneys meet with the actual judge assigned to the divorce case.

Oakland Charter Township is located in Oakland County, Michigan, and is served by the Oakland County Circuit Court and judges. The Family Division of the Circuit Court handles divorces and child custody matters and is comprised of four Circuit Court judges. Friend of the Court is also part of the Circuit Court’s Family Division and handles areas specific to domestic relations while also administering the SMILE Program for divorced couples with children.

Oakland County is one of the wealthiest counties in the Midwestern United States and is well-known for its stunning homes and private neighborhoods of primarily undeveloped areas. Oakland Township itself represents one of the highest concentrations of wealth in their “Billion Dollar Mile,” which includes over a billion dollars of property in one mile. Oakland Township has two zip codes: 48306 and 48363. Nearby cities and villages include Detroit, Goodison, Flint, Romulus, Rochester, and Rochester Hills.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Divorce in Michigan?

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

One of the most common questions in the divorce process is, “How long is this going to take?” For couples who are filing a DM divorce – in other words, a divorce that involves children – they can expect the process to last a minimum of six months, or 180 days. Divorces that do not involve children are labeled DO – these take a minimum of 60 days to complete.

Before you get too hopeful about the prospect of having a divorce finalized in two months, listen to Michigan lawyer Jacob Femminineo in this video as he delves more deeply into the 180- and 60-day divorce laws. Learn about possible waivers that a judge may grant if it’s in the best interest of children who are wrapped up in a divorce. Understand why divorces take so much time and why so much paperwork needs to be filed. And find out why a 60-day divorce is the minimum for every couple in Michigan, no matter their marital, financial, or parental situation.
