  1. Duration of the marriage
  2. Income and liabilities of each spouse
  3. Contributions to the marriage including homemaking
  4. Future earning capacity
  5. Tax consequences
  6. Waste or dissipation of marital assets
  7. Custodial needs
  8. Any other factors for fairness

Michigan Property Division

Michigan applies equitable distribution principles under Mich. Comp. Laws §552.19. Courts divide marital property equitably, weighing factors such as the length of the marriage, contributions of each spouse, economic circumstances, and retirement benefits. Michigan distinguishes between marital property acquired during the marriage and separate property brought into or inherited during the marriage.
