About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Minnesota, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Minnesota is a pure no-fault state (irretrievable breakdown, Minn. Stat. § 518.06) with a 180-day residency rule (§ 518.07). Cases with minor children use the DIV1702 Joint Petition (settlement agreement and proposed Judgment and Decree with custody, parenting time, and support) or the DIV806 stipulated agreement and Judgment and Decree on the solo-then-agree path. Child support follows the Minnesota guidelines (Minn. Stat. ch. 518A). 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.
JOINT PETITION, AGREEMENT, AND JUDGMENT AND DECREE — WITH CHILDREN (DIV1702). The official Minnesota Judicial Branch form that opens an agreed dissolution in the District Court — with custody, parenting time, and support terms, doubling as the settlement agreement and the proposed Judgment and Decree in one.
Caption: In Re the Marriage of Petitioner A and Petitioner B, with the children of the marriage recorded.
Residency: one spouse resident in Minnesota for at least 180 days before filing (Minn. Stat. § 518.07).
Children and support: legal and physical custody, parenting time, and child support under the Minnesota guidelines (Minn. Stat. ch. 518A); the court reviews the children terms for the children's best interests.
The full packet also includes the DIV201 guide and DIV202 glossary, the DIV103 fee-waiver set, the DIV813/DIV816 service companions, the CON111/CON112 cover and confidential forms, and the DIV801 solo set with the DIV806 stipulated Judgment and Decree — official DIV forms with a PublicLegal cover.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Joint Petition for Dissolution of Marriage With Children (DIV1702) that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
At least one spouse must have lived in Minnesota for at least 180 days (six months) immediately before filing (Minn. Stat. § 518.07). File in the District Court of the county where either spouse lives. Confirm local filing practice with the court administrator.
Minnesota is pure no-fault: the only ground is irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, and the old fault defenses are abolished (Minn. Stat. § 518.06). Minnesota merges the settlement agreement and decree into one official form. If both spouses agree on everything from the start, sign the Joint Petition (DIV302) together - it is the petition, the full settlement agreement, and the proposed Judgment and Decree in one. If one spouse files solo first, you finish with the Stipulated Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Order for Judgment, and Judgment and Decree (DIV406). If your spouse will not agree, this is not your packet.
Cases with minor children follow the same agreed-papers path. The joint form is the DIV1702 (settlement agreement and proposed Judgment and Decree with custody, parenting time, and support), and the solo-then-agree form is the DIV806. Child support is set under the Minnesota guidelines (Minn. Stat. ch. 518A). You are not divorced until the judge signs the Judgment and Decree and it is entered. Court schedules vary by county.
No. This packet is the agreed path for spouses who settle every issue. If your spouse will contest, consult a Minnesota attorney about the contested process.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Minnesota attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
