You need to draft and file what is called a "Complaint for Divorce" in the county where you reside (you must have lived in that county for at least 10 days, and in the State of Michigan for at least 180 days). There is a mandatory 60-day waiting period after you file the Complaint for Divorce. After the 60 days, you and your ex draft and submit to the Court a "Judgment of Divorce," which memorializes in writing the division/allocation of all your assets and debts.
