The Summons in Michigan is a legal notification from the court about the legal action initiated against the defendant. In divorce cases, it informs the respondent that their spouse has filed for marriage dissolution and lets them know how much time they have to respond to a Complaint.

In Michigan, the average deadline for responding to petitioner’s allegations is 21 days when served in person and 28 days if served by registered mail.
