About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Kansas, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Kansas is a pure no-fault state (incompatibility, K.S.A. 23-2701(a)(1)) with a 60-day residency rule (23-2703) and a 60-day wait after filing (23-2708). Every instrument in this packet is a PublicLegal-authored form, conspicuously disclosed - Kansas Judicial Council content is copyright-barred from commercial resale, and the official Judicial Council packet is free at kjc.ks.gov/legal-forms/divorce. The kit is the authored petition, instructions, settlement agreement with property schedules, entry-of-appearance waiver, and SCRA affidavit; the official Domestic Relations Affidavit is bundled free. The settlement product is the authored Marital Settlement Agreement, and the decree product is the authored proposed Decree of Divorce. 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 7 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in Word and print-ready PDF formats. The packet centers on the Petition for Divorce 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 Kansas (or been stationed on a Kansas military post) for at least 60 days before filing (K.S.A. 23-2703). File in the District Court of the county where you (the petitioner) are an actual resident, or where your spouse lives or can be served (K.S.A. 60-607(a)). Confirm local filing practice with the clerk.
Kansas's agreed ground is incompatibility (K.S.A. 23-2701(a)(1)) - a pure no-fault ground with no fault alleged. These are PublicLegal-authored forms, not Kansas Judicial Council forms: the Judicial Council's official divorce packet is copyright-barred from resale and is provided free at kjc.ks.gov/legal-forms/divorce. If your spouse will not agree, this is not your packet.
Kansas will not hear the case until at least 60 days after the petition is filed (K.S.A. 23-2708), even when both spouses agree; the court may shorten it only for good cause in an emergency. After the wait, the parties submit the signed settlement agreement and the proposed Decree of Divorce for the judge to review and sign; some districts decide agreed cases on the papers, others set a short hearing. You are not divorced until the judge signs the decree and the clerk enters it - generally final 30 days later unless an appeal is taken or waived in writing (K.S.A. 60-2103(a)). 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 Kansas attorney about the contested process.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Kansas attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
