Your requirements for a legal divorce

In most states, a divorce (or "dissolution of marriage") procedure must be filed with the courts. Most states have a "no-fault divorce" procedure. In short, the courts do not care which (if any) spouse was responsible for the misconduct that led to the filing of the legal divorce forms.

The requirements listed below are required to file your legal divorce forms in most states:

1. Residency: Whichever spouse that is filing for the divorce must have lived-in the state and county for a specific time period. Six months is a common time frame for many state requirements.

2. Time Period: The majority of states have a compulsory waiting time from the initial filing of the legal divorce forms to the completion of a divorce. Basically, you cannot file your divorce forms and settle a divorce on the same day. The usual waiting time is 6 months, however, it can be anywhere from 0 to 12 months. Following the normal waiting time, your divorce is finalized and both you and your spouse are legally free to get remarried if you like.

3. Grounds for Divorce: States normally identify two legal grounds when filing for divorce:
(1) irreconcilable differences (2) separation. "Irreconcilable differences" basically means there are difficulties with the marriage that cannot be remedied and have led to the unending failing of the marriage.

4. State and Local Requirements: When filing your legal divorce forms to end your marriage you must file your forms with the correct court. The right court is normally in the county where either spouse has lived for a minimum of 3-6 months preceding you filing for divorce.
