Michigan Traffic Violation Defense

Summary

In Michigan, allowing an unlicensed driver to operate your vehicle can lead to penalties. Plea deals are conditional, and if your spouse didnt fulfill his part, it might affect the deal. Marital property status doesnt typically influence traffic violations, as ownership and registration are key factors. Consider seeking legal advice to navigate the plea deal and separation issues.

We are separated and I have not spoken to him about why he did not appear. He has a long history of driving on suspended from before I met him. I have his driving record for proof. He is a legal adult and technically that is also his vehicle. He will drive it regardless of me telling him not to.
It sounds like a challenging situation. In Michigan, being cited for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate your vehicle can be serious. Plea deals are conditional, so if your spouse didn't fulfill his part, it might affect the deal. It could be beneficial to discuss this with a local attorney who can provide guidance specific to your case. Would you like assistance connecting with local lawyers?
No thanks. I feel the jury will see my point that if we were divorcing it would be illegal to sell the vehicle because by marriage it also belongs to him. Therefore I cannot tell him he cannot operate his own property. Plus the prosecution was willing to drop my case in order to get him to take a plea. My case should not be combined with his case.
I understand your perspective. In Michigan, marital property doesn't typically affect traffic violations, as ownership and registration are key factors. It might be worth considering legal advice to navigate the plea deal situation and separation issues. If there's anything else specific you need help with, feel free to ask!
