Missouri Divorce Forms & Papers

Before filing for dissolution of marriage, one of the spouses must be a resident of Missouri for 90 days. The dissolution of marriage should be filed in the county where the Petitioner resides. In addition, there is a 30-day waiting period after filing before a dissolution of marriage will be granted. [Annotated Missouri Statutes; Title 30, Chapter 452, Sections 300.1 and 305].

The only no-fault ground for dissolution of marriage in Missouri is: Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved. [Annotated Missouri Statutes; Title 30, Chapter 452, Section 305].
