People often talk about âlegal separationâ as an alternative to divorce. In Michigan, this legal action is called âseparate maintenance.â This is a court case between a married couple that can divide property and debt, decide child support, custody, and parenting time, and award spousal support. It is almost the same as divorce, except at the end of the case the couple stays married. Some married people may choose to file for separate maintenance rather than divorce for religious or other reasons. There are some downsides to separate maintenance. For example, if your spouse takes on new debt, it may be considered your debt, too.
