How to File for Divorce in Montana?

Follow these steps to quickly formalize the dissolution of the marriage in the state of Montana:

1. Join efforts with your spouse and prepare a petition to formalize the divorce. This way, you will be able to accelerate the process - there is no need to hire a professional server to inform the other spouse about the upcoming divorce, and you will have ample time to address all possible concerns.
2. Complete several other documents to attach to the petition - disclose your income, assets, expenses, and debts, draft a plan to deal with the child custody, visitation, and financial support, and outline the medical coverage you and your kids are entitled to at the moment. A Montana Divorce Agreement should be negotiated and approved by the parties to demonstrate the conditions of the official separation are fair for both of you.
3. Submit the paperwork to the district court - choose the county where at least one of the spouses resides in. You will find out the date of the hearing - share your mailing addresses in case you do not want to attend it and prefer to receive the divorce decree via mail.
4. Appear in court for the hearing - the judge will examine the documentation you have filed, talk to both of you to learn if there are any issues not tackled previously, and evaluate the provisions related to the distribution of the assets to ensure it is reasonable and neither party is left empty-handed. The divorce will be confirmed with the help of the dissolution decree both spouses sign.
