To Whom It May Concern:

This is in response to your email of September 13, 2001, which this office received on October 26, 2001.

Your question was rather unspecific as to what possessions your brother is trying to protect. In Michigan, on a general basis, those assets acquired by the parties during the years of marriage should be divided on an equal basis, and typically the personal items of each individual should be retained by that person.

Your brother may have other remedies, such as the court motions to protect all marital assets during the divorce proceedings until a judgment of divorce is entered.

Thank you for your question.

Sincerely,

Nichols & Eberth, P.C.
