Michigan uses equitable distribution to divide marital property at divorce. Courts consider each spouse’s income, contributions to the marriage, length of the marriage, and other factors — but “equitable” doesn’t mean equal. A prenup lets you define your own division rules in advance, removing uncertainty about how a court might split your assets.
Your Clause prenup explicitly defines which property is separate and which is marital, overriding Michigan's default equitable distribution rules with terms you both agree on.
The Michigan Court of Appeals confirmed that Michigan prenuptial agreements must be witnessed by two individuals in addition to both parties. The court also reaffirmed that full financial disclosure and freedom from duress are essential for enforceability under MCL § 557.28.
Attorney-drafted prenups typically cost $5,000 to $20,000 combined. Here's how Clause compares:
