You will need to provide details about your marriage, grounds for divorce, information regarding children, and any claims related to property and alimony.

After completing the form, you must file it with the appropriate court in Arkansas. Be sure to follow local court rules regarding filing fees and procedures.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are seeking to end their marriage and have children will find this form essential. It allows them to formally request the court to dissolve their marriage while addressing issues related to child custody and support.
  • Situations requiring a legal framework for divorce proceedings can benefit from this complaint. Couples with children need to outline their specific circumstances and allegations, ensuring that all relevant details are presented to the court.
  • For those who are unfamiliar with the divorce process in Arkansas, this form serves as a comprehensive guide. It not only provides the necessary legal documentation but also educates users on the various aspects of divorce, such as property division and alimony.
  • Couples who have reached an agreement on divorce terms but need to formalize their separation can use this complaint. It enables them to present their case to the court, ensuring that all agreements regarding children and assets are legally recognized.
  • People navigating a contested divorce will require this form to articulate their claims and requests. This complaint allows them to formally state their position and seek judicial intervention in disputes over custody or property.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for individuals who are seeking a legal separation rather than a divorce. A legal separation has different requirements and implications than a divorce.
  • โ€“ If there is a history of domestic violence in the relationship, it may be more appropriate to seek legal advice and possibly file for a protective order instead of using this form.
  • โ€“ Couples who have already reached a divorce settlement and only need to finalize the terms may not need to file a Complaint for Divorce. Instead, they may require a divorce decree or settlement agreement.
  • โ€“ This form is not suitable for individuals who are not residents of Arkansas. Each state has its own legal requirements and forms for divorce proceedings.
  • โ€“ If both parties agree to an uncontested divorce without children, a simplified form may be more appropriate than this comprehensive Complaint for Divorce.
