Minnesota No-Fault Uncontested Divorce (with Minor Children)

About this Form:  Below is a sample no-fault divorce petition for Minnesota, also known as a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Most courts will require that this form of this kind is completed and filed along with a Marital Settlement Agreement (Minor Children). To qualify to file for divorce, the Petitioner will need to specify a basis recognized as valid within the state. Minnesota law recognizes only the following grounds as sufficient for granting a no-fault divorce: Irrevocable breakdown of the marriage shown by: (1) living separate and apart for 180 days or (2) serious marital discord affecting the attitude of one or both of the spouses toward the marriage.

About the Purchased Version: The purchased version of this document includes the complete set of forms that are needed to achieve a divorce.
