About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Maine, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Maine cases with minor children use the official Judicial Branch packet (OTH-039) behind a PublicLegal cover: the Complaint (FM-004), the Child Support Affidavit (FM-050), and the official Child Support Worksheet (FM-040). Custody and child support remain subject to the court's best-interests review (19-A M.R.S. § 1653). The settlement product is a PublicLegal-authored agreement that is also the written parental-rights agreement the court requires (M.R. Civ. P. 110A(b)(3)(B)) - Maine publishes no statewide settlement or parenting-plan form. Those blank official forms are free at courts.maine.gov - you are paying for current-edition packaging and ILRG product support. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Complaint for Divorce (FM-004, "With minor children") that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
The same residency rule applies (19-A M.R.S. § 901(1)), and Maine must be the children's home state for the court to decide parental rights. File in the District Court for your region.
This packet uses the no-fault ground of irreconcilable marital differences (19-A M.R.S. § 902(1)(H)). Maine allows agreed no-fault divorces; if your spouse will contest, consult a Maine attorney.
The same 60-days-from-service track applies (Rule 113), but cases with minor children add the Child Support Affidavit (FM-050), the Child Support Worksheet (FM-040), and - on the agreed path - the Certificate in Lieu of Case Management Conference (FM-054). Custody and child support remain subject to the court's best-interests review (19-A M.R.S. § 1653). Maine does not mandate a parent-education class statewide; the court may order one. You are not divorced until the court issues the judgment after a hearing.
No. This packet is the agreed path for spouses who settle every issue and can ask the court to skip the case-management conference (Certificate in Lieu, FM-054). If your spouse will contest, consult a Maine attorney about the contested process.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Maine attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
