This process in Michigan is called "separate maintenance".
The procedure for obtaining a Judgment of Separate Maintenance in Michigan is practically the same as the procedure for a divorce, but when a Judgment of Separate Maintenance is entered you are divorced from everything except the bounds of matrimony.
If you have a Judgment of Separate Maintenance in Michigan rather than a Judgment of Divorce, you cannot remarry.
If you receive a Judgment of Separate Maintenance in Michigan and then later decide you do want a divorce, you will need to start a new case for a divorce.

Spousal support is money that is paid to a spouse which is not intended to be a division of marital property.
Many factors are considered by the court as relevant in determining whether spousal support should be awarded.
How much spousal support you will receive and how long it will last is in the discretion of the court.
If you are receiving or paying spousal support, and believe a modification is in order because of a increase or decrease of income, the spousal support may require an increase or reduction.
