Do You Qualify for an Agreed Divorce?
Tennessee has specific residency rules. Check below to see if you can file for an Agreed Divorce.
Use this kit if:
- ✓ You or your spouse has lived in TN for at least 6 months.
- ✓ You seek a divorce based on Irreconcilable Differences.
- ✓ You both agree to sign the Marital Dissolution Agreement (MDA).
- ✓ If you have kids: You agree on the Permanent Parenting Plan.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- ✕ You have lived in TN for less than 6 months.
- ✕ Your spouse refuses to sign the MDA (this becomes a Contested Divorce).
- ✕ You wish to file based on Fault (Adultery, Desertion, etc.).
- ✕ You have complex assets like unvested pensions or business interests.
Why Choose an MDA Kit?
The Marital Dissolution Agreement (MDA) is the contract that tells the judge exactly how you are splitting assets and debts. If this document is flawed, the judge will reject it at the final hearing. Our kit focuses on helping you draft a solid MDA.

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is the Marital Dissolution Agreement (MDA)?”
The MDA is a contract signed by both spouses that resolves all issues of property, debt, and alimony. Filing this document tells the judge the divorce is uncontested.
“How long do I have to wait?”
If you have no minor children, the mandatory waiting period is 60 days after filing the Complaint. If you have minor children, the waiting period is 90 days.
“What if we have children?”
You must file a Permanent Parenting Plan along with your MDA. Both parents must also attend a mandatory 4-hour parent education seminar before the divorce can be finalized.
“Do I have to go to court?”
Usually, yes. Even in Agreed Divorces, the Plaintiff (filing spouse) typically must attend a brief final hearing to testify that the MDA is fair. The other spouse often does not need to attend.
