Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill updates Michigan law regarding divorce and separate maintenance judgments. It changes the language to be gender-neutral, referring to "spouses" instead of "husband and wife," when determining rights to life insurance, annuities, and retirement benefits. The bill also clarifies that divorced spouses who owned real estate together will become tenants in common unless the divorce judgment states otherwise.
