MONTANA
1. What do we need to
get a divorce?
What are the grounds for divorce in Montana?
Montana is a purely "no-fault" divorce state,
meaning that you can't allege that your spouse's wrongdoing was the cause of
the divorce. Instead, most divorces are based on the grounds that the parties
have irreconcilable differences that have led to the breakdown of the marriage,
or you can base your divorce on the fact that you've been separated from your
spouse for at least six months. However, fault may be considered by the court
as a factor in dividing property or awarding alimony. To learn more about
Montana's use of fault as a determining factor in alimony and property issues,
see Nolo's Essential Guide to Divorce, by Emily Doskow (Nolo).
