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.
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.
What is an ICE detainer (Form I-247)?
An ICE detainer (Form I-247) is a written request from ICE asking a local jail to hold someone for up to 48 additional hours after they would normally be released so ICE can take custody. Federal courts have held that detainers are requests, not orders — whether a jail honors a detainer depends on the local sheriff's policy.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Michigan?
In Michigan, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by Michigan law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in Michigan is known as "set aside (Clean Slate Act)" and runs through the Circuit / District Court of conviction.
