About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Missouri, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Missouri calls the case a "dissolution of marriage," not a divorce. It requires 90 days of state residency before filing and a 30-day wait after filing before the court can enter the judgment (RSMo § 452.305.1(1)). The FAQ below covers the details.
The petition for dissolution of marriage packet is a court-facing document completed from the agreements in your case, so it is delivered in full after purchase rather than previewed online.

The 13 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in Word and print-ready PDF formats. The packet centers on the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
Missouri requires that at least one spouse has lived in the state, or is a service member stationed in Missouri, for the 90 days immediately before filing (RSMo § 452.305.1(1)). The 90 days apply to both alternatives. File in the county where you or your spouse lives (RSMo § 452.300.5).
Missouri grants a dissolution when the marriage is irretrievably broken and there is no reasonable likelihood it can be preserved (RSMo §§ 452.310.1, 452.305.1(2)). When both spouses state under oath that the marriage is irretrievably broken — or one does and the other does not deny it — the court considers those statements and holds a hearing before making the finding (RSMo § 452.320.1). Official CAFC070 also lets some circuits take an uncontested case on affidavit. Ask the clerk.
A Missouri court cannot enter the judgment until at least 30 days after the petition is filed (RSMo § 452.305.1(1)). You are not dissolved until the judge signs the judgment and the court enters it (RSMo § 452.360.1; Rule 74.01(a)). Ask the clerk whether your circuit takes the uncontested case on affidavit, requires an appearance, or both. Court schedules vary by county.
No. This packet is for uncontested dissolutions where both spouses cooperate. If your spouse denies that the marriage is irretrievably broken, the court requires proof of specific facts before it can grant the dissolution (RSMo § 452.320.2) — consult a Missouri attorney.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Missouri attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
