Frequently Asked Questions
“What is the 20-day waiting period?”
Montana law requires a minimum of 20 days from the date of filing (and service/acknowledgment) before the court can hold a hearing or grant the divorce.
“What is a Declaration of Assets and Debts?”
This is a mandatory financial disclosure form where you list all property, assets, debts, and income. It must be filed with the court and served on your spouse (or filed jointly).
“What if we have children?”
If you have minor children, you must submit a Proposed Parenting Plan and child support calculations. Our kit includes guidance for these forms, but the court must approve the plan as being in the child's best interest.
“Do I have to go to court?”
Yes. Even in a Joint Dissolution, Montana courts typically require a short final hearing where at least one spouse appears to confirm the marriage is irretrievably broken.
