Michigan law incorporates different factors and formulas when making a determination on asset division, including findings on real estate and personal property. There are numerous legal considerations and the decision is dependent upon the judge’s discretion. In complex property division cases, there are three main areas of inquiry:

• Complicated Ownership Structures: It’s not difficult to divide cash or bank account proceeds, but property titled in trusts or other legal entities present challenges.
• High Value Assets: The higher the value of real or personal property, the greater the financial stakes. There is typically increased potential for protracted legal disputes, especially when there are interests in a business.
• Misconduct Abounds: With some assets, there is an increased potential for fraud in executing transfer documents.
