Fill out your Forms

If a couple fulfills the residency requirements, then one of the spouses may file a petition for divorce. A petition for divorce has to be filed in the District Court of the county of residence either spouse. Once the Petitioner (the filing spouse) has filed for divorce it is their responsibility to serve their spouse, now called the Respondent. Service can be done through mail or hand delivery. Traditional 3rd party service is not necessary; however, the Respondent must sign a form that explains that he or she received the necessary papers and will file them with the court.
