The Automatic Stay in Michigan Bankruptcy
Michigan bankruptcy automatic stay (11 U.S.C. § 362) immediately halts most collection actions, lawsuits, foreclosures, and wage garnishments the moment a bankruptcy is filed.
Chapter 11 Business Reorganization in Michigan
Michigan businesses can use Chapter 11 to reorganize debt while continuing operations. Subchapter V (small-business) streamlines for businesses with debt under ~$7.5M.
Arbitration Clauses + Agreements in Michigan
Michigan arbitration clauses are widely enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) — but unconscionability, class-action waiver issues, and the 2022 EFAA (sexual-harassment carve-out) limit some clauses.
Breach of Contract in Michigan
Michigan breach-of-contract claims require valid contract + breach + damages — but most cases turn on what damages can be proved, not whether breach occurred.
Your Rights If Arrested in Michigan
Your federal constitutional rights apply if you're arrested in Michigan — Miranda, right to remain silent, right to counsel. Phone-call rule: Reasonable phone access.
Assault Charges in Michigan
Michigan assault charges: simple assault is typically Misdemeanor up to 93 days (battery + assault); aggravated forms can reach Felony — up to life (assault with intent to murder).
Challenging Breath-Test Evidence in Michigan
Michigan DUI breath-test results can be challenged on calibration, maintenance, operator error, mouth alcohol, and machine reliability — successful challenges have led to thousands of dismissals nationally.
CDL DUI in Michigan
Michigan commercial driver's license (CDL) holders face stricter DUI rules — 0.04% BAC limit (half of regular drivers) plus career-ending consequences for ANY DUI in any vehicle.
ADA + Disability Accommodation in Michigan
Michigan disabled employees are protected by the federal ADA (15+ employees) + state law — employers must engage in interactive process + provide reasonable accommodations unless undue hardship.
Age Discrimination in Michigan
Michigan workers age 40+ are protected by the federal ADEA + state law from age discrimination — but the Supreme Court's Gross v. FBL standard requires "but-for" causation, making cases harder than other discrimination claims.
Asset Protection Planning in Michigan
Michigan asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.
Blended Family Estate Planning in Michigan
Michigan blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.
Adoption Process in Michigan
Michigan adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. Generally irrevocable after signed; limited revocation grounds.
Spousal Support in Michigan: How It Works
Michigan calls it spousal support. Wide judicial discretion; types include rehabilitative, temporary, and permanent.
Applying for Asylum from Michigan
Asylum is governed by federal law but cases are heard in the immigration court closest to where the applicant lives. Detroit Immigration Court.
Cancellation of Removal in Michigan
Michigan immigrants in removal proceedings may qualify for cancellation of removal — relief that allows long-term residents (LPRs and certain non-LPRs) to avoid deportation and obtain green cards.
Copyright Basics for Michigan Creators
Copyright is purely federal — registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, enforced through federal district courts. Michigan infringement cases are filed in U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan.
Fair Use of Copyrighted Material in Michigan
Michigan creators using copyrighted material need fair-use analysis — four-factor test (purpose, nature, amount, market effect) determines whether use is lawful without permission.
Amusement-Park Injuries in Michigan
Michigan amusement park / ride / water park injuries can lead to negligence, premises liability, and product-liability claims — but liability waivers and federal CPSC reporting create complications.
Aviation Accident Claims in Michigan
Michigan aviation-accident claims involve federal aviation law, FAA / NTSB investigations, multiple potential defendants, and (for international flights) treaties like the Montreal Convention.
1031 Like-Kind Exchanges in Michigan
Michigan 1031 like-kind exchanges defer capital gains tax on real-estate sales when proceeds reinvest in similar property — strict 45/180-day deadlines + qualified intermediary required.
Adverse Possession in Michigan
Michigan adverse possession requires 15 years of continuous, open, hostile, exclusive, and notorious possession.
Innocent Spouse Tax Relief in Michigan
Michigan spouses who filed joint returns can escape responsibility for tax debts caused by the other spouse — through innocent spouse, separation of liability, or equitable relief.
IRS Audit Defense in Michigan
Michigan taxpayers facing IRS audits should know — most audits are correspondence (mail-only), 3-year SOL is standard, and you have appeal + Tax Court rights at every step.
