Is this kit right for you?
Guam has specific residency rules and this packet is built for marriages with no minor children. Check below to see if you qualify.
Use this kit if:
- Both spouses consent in writing to the divorce, and one of you has resided in Guam for at least 7 days before filing — or one of you meets Guam's ordinary 90-day residency rule.
- There are no minor children of the marriage.
- You agree on all property division and debt allocation.
- You want to file in the Superior Court of Guam without a lawyer.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- Your spouse refuses to sign the Appearance and Waiver.
- You have minor children of the marriage — this packet doesn't include custody, visitation, or child-support pleadings.
- There is domestic violence or you need a restraining order.
- You have complex assets spread across different countries or territories.
Which residency rule applies to you?
Under 19 GCA §8318, Guam has two residency paths — and either way, residency must be pled and proved:
Ordinary rule — 90 days
One spouse physically present in Guam (or assigned there with the U.S. military) for at least 90 days immediately before filing. Applies whether or not your spouse agrees.
Written-consent exception — 7 days
Only if both spouses consent in writing to the divorce, one spouse's 7 days of Guam residence is enough. The court still is not presumed to have jurisdiction just because your spouse consents — it makes its own findings.
Only the parties or the court can raise a jurisdiction or residency objection — even in an agreed case. This kit walks you through pleading and proving whichever path applies.
Why choose a DIY kit?
Guam's legal system is distinct from the mainland, and its own Judiciary publishes the Complaint, Appearance and Waiver, and Marital Settlement Agreement used in an agreed, no-minor-children divorce. We walk you through each one and how they fit together.
Save thousands
You do the filing yourself and keep the difference between a lawyer's fee and a one-time kit price — the court's filing fee is separate, shown alongside.
The consent advantage, accurately explained
We include the Appearance and Waiver so a cooperative spouse who's already been served can waive further notices instead of contesting — and the Settlement Agreement's own request to shorten the six-month wait for a Final Decree.
The cost of divorce in Guam
The Judiciary of Guam's own family-law filing fee is currently $300 for the first paper, paid directly to the court — confirm the current amount before filing.
What's included: Guam Superior Court forms
The Judiciary of Guam's own uncontested-divorce packet, for spouses with no minor children.

How it works
A roadmap through the Superior Court of Guam process — not a promise of a specific timeline.
Guam allows a streamlined Consent Divorce when both spouses agree and there are no minor children of the marriage. Our kit provides the Superior Court of Guam's own Complaint for Divorce, Appearance and Waiver of Notice, and Marital Settlement Agreement, matched to the process the court actually uses.
Prepare & sign
Download the kit. As the filing spouse, you verify the Complaint under penalty of perjury. Both spouses sign the Marital Settlement Agreement. Your spouse signs the Appearance and Waiver, acknowledged before a notary (or a U.S. consular officer if signed outside the U.S.).
File in Hagåtña
File your Complaint, Case Cover Sheet, and other documents with the Superior Court Clerk at the Judicial Center. Pay the court's filing fee (currently $300 for the first paper).
Interlocutory Judgment, then Final Decree
If the court finds it's in the interests of justice, it may grant an Interlocutory Judgment on the papers alone, or set a hearing. A Final Decree follows after six months, or sooner only if the court grants your request to shorten that wait for cause.
There is no guaranteed timeframe. Whether the court requires a hearing, sworn affidavits, or additional evidence — and whether it shortens the six-month wait — is up to the assigned judge.

Guam consent divorce: frequently asked questions
What is a Consent Divorce in Guam?
It's Guam's process for an agreed, uncontested divorce. After the Complaint and Summons are filed and given to your spouse, your spouse signs an Appearance and Waiver acknowledging receipt, entering their appearance, and waiving further notices and proceedings — it does not replace giving them the initiating papers in the first place.
What's the residency requirement?
Guam's ordinary rule is 90 days of residence before filing. If both spouses consent in writing to the divorce, one spouse's 7 days of residence is enough instead. Either way, residency must be pled and proved, and the court makes its own findings — it isn't presumed to have jurisdiction just because your spouse consents.
Does consent mean we skip the waiting period?
No. Guam still requires an Interlocutory Judgment before a Final Decree, and the standard wait between them is six months after filing. The court may shorten that wait, but only on a party's application and a showing of cause — consent alone doesn't waive it.
Do I have to appear in court?
In uncontested cases the court may grant an Interlocutory Judgment based on the verified Complaint alone if it finds that appropriate, and may instead require sworn affidavits or a hearing. The court's own packet includes a Notice of Hearing addressed to both the Hagåtña courthouse and the Northern Court Satellite in Dededo — check your notice for what applies to your case.
Does this kit cover child custody?
No. This packet's Complaint and Settlement Agreement are for marriages with no minor children. If you have minor children together, Guam law requires separate custody, visitation, and support determinations in the best interests of the child — talk to a lawyer or use forms designed for a children's case.
Is $129 the total cost of my divorce?
No — $129 is the one-time price of the kit itself. You'll also pay the Superior Court of Guam's own filing fee directly (currently $300 for the first paper) plus any notary or consular-authentication costs. Even with those added, it's typically far less than hiring a lawyer.
Important legal disclaimer
PlainDivorce is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or representation. The Guam Consent Divorce Kit is a private self-help information product containing publicly available Superior Court of Guam forms with general instructions. It is not a substitute for advice from a licensed Guam attorney, and no court has reviewed, approved, or endorsed it or its templates.
We do not guarantee that a judge will grant your divorce, that the Clerk will accept your paperwork as filed, that your case will avoid a hearing, or that the court will shorten the six-month wait for a Final Decree. Court rules, forms, and filing fees can change; there is no single total cost. You are responsible for verifying current forms, fees, and procedure with the Superior Court of Guam Clerk before filing.
