A: Unfortunately, there is not enough information to conclude either way. Michigan is a no fault state, so a divorce can be sought and achieved regardless of fault. However, fault is a factor is the division of property...BUT it is just one factor, and it depends upon the totality of all the factors and how the property is held (marital vs. separate). Best advice is to hire an attorney to help guide you through this stressful situation. Good luck.
