About this form
This is a no-fault divorce form for use within the State of Mississippi (BILL OF COMPLAINT OF DIVORCE). Most courts will require that this form be completed and filed along with a Marital Settlement Agreement. Please note that in Paragraph 5 (Grounds for Divorce), the Complainant will need to specify grounds for divorce that are recognized as valid within the State of Mississippi. Mississippi law recognizes only the following grounds as sufficient for granting a no-fault divorce: Irreconcilable differences.
Mississippi requires at least six months of state residency before filing, and an irreconcilable-differences complaint must be on file for 60 days before the court can hear it (Miss. Code Ann. §§ 93-5-5, 93-5-2(4)). 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 5 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in Word and print-ready PDF formats. The packet centers on the Joint Complaint for Divorce that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
Mississippi requires that at least one spouse has been an actual, bona fide resident of the state for six months before filing (Miss. Code Ann. § 93-5-5). Divorce cases go to the chancery court; when both spouses are Mississippi residents, you file in the county where either spouse lives (§ 93-5-11).
Mississippi's no-fault ground is irreconcilable differences, and it is consent-based: both spouses must agree to the divorce (Miss. Code Ann. § 93-5-2). The joint complaint in this packet is signed by both spouses. Couples with a written settlement agreement attach it, and the chancellor must find its provisions adequate (§ 93-5-2(2)). Where this packet also includes a without-settlement-agreement complaint variant, that variant is only for couples whose jointly signed complaint completely disposes of all marital property regardless of title, all marital debts regardless of whose name appears, alimony, and every other property right. Couples who want the chancellor to decide contested issues may file a signed written consent under § 93-5-2(3); that path uses different documents not included in this packet. If your spouse contests or denies the ground, an irreconcilable-differences divorce cannot proceed while that contest stands (§ 93-5-2(5)).
An irreconcilable-differences complaint must be on file for 60 days before the court can hear it (Miss. Code Ann. § 93-5-2(4)). After that the uncontested case is taken as proved without testimony, but Uniform Chancery Court Rule 8.04 still generally requires a party or attorney to appear with MEC-stamped copies unless the court excuses that appearance. You are not divorced until the chancellor signs the Final Judgment and the chancery clerk enters it. Court schedules vary by county.
No. Mississippi's irreconcilable-differences divorce requires both spouses to participate — the joint complaint in this packet is signed by both. If your spouse will not cooperate or contests the divorce, consult a Mississippi attorney about fault-based grounds (Miss. Code Ann. § 93-5-1).
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Mississippi attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
