Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Michigan?▼
Yes. Search the Circuit Court / District Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Michigan counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
Can my employer see a sealed record in Michigan?▼
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed Michigan record. However, government employers, law enforcement, schools, healthcare facilities, and any role requiring a fingerprint-based check can see sealed records under specific statutory exemptions. Confirm specifics with the sealing court.
How long can ICE hold someone after their criminal case ends?▼
ICE detainers request up to 48 hours of additional custody after a person would otherwise be released — though several federal courts have limited or rejected this practice, and policies vary by jurisdiction. After 48 hours without ICE taking custody, the hold legally expires.
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Michigan?▼
Yes — in Michigan, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
