About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Maine, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Maine is a no-fault state (irreconcilable marital differences, 19-A M.R.S. § 902(1)(H)) with a 60-day waiting period that runs from SERVICE, and every divorce finishes at a hearing - Maine has no mail-in decree, so there is no decree product. The kit is the official Maine Judicial Branch packet (OTH-040 without children / OTH-039 with children) behind a PublicLegal cover; the clerk-issued Summons (FM-038, $5) is bought from the court. The settlement product is a PublicLegal-authored marital settlement agreement - Maine publishes no statewide settlement 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.
COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE (official FM-004, no children). The official Maine Judicial Branch complaint that opens a no-fault divorce (irreconcilable marital differences, 19-A M.R.S. § 902(1)(H)). Maine uses the same complaint with or without children — check "No minor children." Free blank at courts.maine.gov.
Built on the official OTH-040 packet: the court's own instructions (FM-081), Summary Sheet (FM-002), SSN disclosure, the Acknowledgment of Service (CV-FM-036), and the financial and real-estate forms. The clerk-issued Summons (FM-038, $5) is bought from the court.
Timing: the final hearing is no sooner than 60 days after SERVICE (Rule 113), and every Maine divorce finishes at a hearing — the court enters the judgment. There is no mail-in decree.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Complaint for Divorce (FM-004) that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
Any one of these (19-A M.R.S. § 901(1)): you lived in Maine in good faith for 6 months before filing; OR you are a Maine resident and were married in Maine; OR you are a Maine resident and lived in Maine when the cause arose; OR your spouse is a Maine resident. File in the District Court for the region where you or your spouse lives.
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 court cannot hold the final hearing until at least 60 days after the summons and complaint are SERVED (Maine Rule of Civil Procedure 113) - the clock runs from service, not filing. Every Maine divorce finishes at a hearing (Rule 115); there is no mail-in, on-the-papers decree. You are not divorced until the court issues the judgment. Court schedules vary by district.
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.
