You can file in the county where you live. Since this will be uncontested, you can obtain the forms from the clerk of court or use this link to fill them out and have her sign before filing: https://michiganlegalhelp.org/resources/family/do-it-yourself-divorce
She may not even have to appear in court since nothing is contested. You can appear on your own.

I need to get a divorce. I have no kids and no assets to split. Both parties agree.
I understand that you are looking to get a divorce. Have you and your spouse already discussed the terms of the divorce, such as property division and spousal support?
Yes.
Are there any specific legal documents or forms you need assistance with for filing for divorce?
Yes, but I don’t know what they are or where to get them.
Is there anything else the family lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your divorce.
No.
Which state are you in? This information is crucial as divorce procedures and required forms can vary significantly from one state to another.
Michigan.

Am I in contact with the real lawyer now?
Yes, and I’m here to help. I know you have questions about the divorce. Is this going to be uncontested?
So there are no assets or anything? You just want to file, and will she agree?
I live in Washtenaw County, but we were married in Gatlinburg, TN. Can I still file for divorce at the Washtenaw County Courthouse? And when I get there, will they know what forms to give me?
You can file in the county where you live. Since this will be uncontested, you can obtain the forms from the clerk of court or use this link to fill them out and have her sign before filing: https://michiganlegalhelp.org/resources/family/do-it-yourself-divorce
She may not even have to appear in court since nothing is contested. You can appear on your own.
What paper will I be asking the clerk at the courthouse for? I live less than a mile from Washtenaw County Courthouse.
Ask for the form for an uncontested divorce.
Is that going to be a big packet that will require a lot of initials and signatures? Just asking so I know it when I see it.
It will require everything to be filled out and disclosed. The clerk will provide the packet.
Then once I get it filled out, what do I do?
You both fill it out and sign it, then file it. It will be submitted to the judge for review, and a court hearing will be scheduled to finalize the divorce.
