How to File for No-Fault divorce in Missouri
Missouri is a purely no-fault divorce state, meaning that
there is no need to provide grounds for the dissolution of the marriage. One
spouse must testify that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and that “there
is no likelihood that the marriage can be preserved”. After this testimony, the
parties are granted their dissolution and the marriage is ended. Once an order
dissolving a marriage is entered, it becomes final, and subject only to the
right to appeal of either spouse. If the appeal cannot successfully challenge
that the marriage is “irretrievably broken”, then the parties are divorced and
free to act as single persons.
