Frequently Asked Questions

The Maine Judgment of Divorce is a legal document that officially terminates a marriage. It is signed by a judge and includes the terms agreed upon by both spouses during the divorce process.

To obtain a Judgment of Divorce, you must complete the necessary divorce paperwork and submit it to the court. Once the judge reviews and approves the documents, they will sign the Judgment of Divorce.

Without a Judgment of Divorce, your marriage is not legally dissolved. This means that you will still be considered married in the eyes of the law, which can affect issues such as property rights and child custody.

In some cases, it is possible to modify the terms of the Judgment of Divorce, especially regarding child custody or support. However, you must file a motion with the court to request any changes.

While it is not mandatory to have an attorney to obtain a Judgment of Divorce, having legal representation can help ensure that your rights are protected and that all necessary legal requirements are met.

  • For those who have completed all necessary divorce paperwork and are ready to finalize their separation, the Final Judgment of Divorce is crucial. This document is the last step in the divorce process, providing legal validation of the divorce and the terms agreed upon by both parties.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for individuals who have not yet completed their divorce proceedings. If the divorce has not been initiated or is still in progress, the Judgment of Divorce cannot be issued.
  • โ€“ If there are unresolved issues between the spouses, such as disagreements over property division or child custody, this form should not be used until those matters are settled. A Judgment of Divorce requires that all terms be agreed upon by both parties.
  • โ€“ For couples seeking a legal separation rather than a divorce, this form is not suitable. A legal separation involves different documentation and does not terminate the marriage.
  • โ€“ Individuals who are in a common-law marriage or have not legally formalized their marriage may not use this form. The Judgment of Divorce specifically applies to legally recognized marriages.
  • โ€“ If the parties involved are seeking to annul the marriage instead of pursuing a divorce, this form would not be applicable. An annulment requires a different legal process and documentation.
