How Do I Know Which State to Choose?

You typically file for separation or divorce in the state in which you or your spouse resides. If you have recently moved to a new state and wish to file in that new state, you may have to establish a residency requirement prior to filing. This does not mean you would have to wait to sign a separation agreement.

If you are in the military and are stationed on a base outside your residency state, you typically are able to file in that state or in your residency state.

If you are in the military and are stationed over seas, you would typically file in your home residency state.

How Long Will the Process Take?

The process takes an average of 1 hour to answer the required questions and generate the agreement.

What do I do With My Agreement?

1. Most spouses will sign the separation agreement and treat it as a legal binding contract during their separation period. If a divorce does take place, the spouses will usually settle the divorce by the terms set forth in the original separation agreement (or a version close to it).

2. To take this a step further, some spouses will actually file the separation agreement with the county court to establish a definitive separation date. The act of filing is either done to meet separation requirements in order to divorce under certain no-fault grounds or to actually file for an official legal separation.
