Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, which means you can fairly easily get a divorce without having to wait for domestic violence to break out between you and your spouse. All you need to show is that the marital relationship has become broken beyond repair (although violence breaking out between spouses is a pretty good indicator of a breakdown).
It is highly advisable to seek a legal separation (a temporary stopgap prior to a final divorce) and consider the merits of a divorce if the relationship with your spouse becomes particularly hostile and contentious. For additional information, click here.
