DID YOU KNOW-Service. §§1.13–1.15.
Service is as provided in the general rules for service, with a copy to the Friend of the Court if there are minor children, a party is pregnant, or support is requested.
If there is a nonresident defendant and jurisdiction is under the long-arm statute, service is made as on a resident defendant. If jurisdiction is acquired by personal service with an order for appearance and publication, specific proofs are required (see §1.13).
Even in an uncontested divorce in Michigan the issues may be complicated.

DID YOU KNOW-Ex parte orders; temporary restraining orders. §§1.17–1.24.
The court must be satisfied by specific facts set forth in an affidavit or verified pleading that irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result from the delay required to effect notice, or that notice itself will precipitate adverse action before an order can be issued.
Orders are effective upon entry but may not be enforced until the other party is served with notice.
Ex parte orders for child support, custody, or parenting time must include the notice in MCR 3.207(B)(5).

The order must be (1) endorsed with the date and time it is issued, (2) describe the injury and why it is irreparable, and (3) state why the order was granted without notice.

For personal protection orders, see §1.22 and Mary M. Lovik, Domestic Violence Benchbook: A Guide to Civil and Criminal Proceedings (3d ed MJI 2004).
