About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Tennessee, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Tennessee is an agreed irreconcilable-differences state. Official Supreme Court forms carry the complaint, marital dissolution agreement, and Final Decree. Those blank official forms are free at tncourts.gov. You are paying for current-edition packaging, the eligibility screen, the Filing & Finish Companion, and ILRG product support. That is not legal advice, and it is not something the court website provides. Ask the clerk which court hears divorces. 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.
REQUEST FOR DIVORCE (COMPLAINT) — NO MINOR CHILDREN. Official Form 1 (July 2017). Plaintiff and Defendant. This is not a homemade petition.
ILRG is committed to top quality legal forms that are valid in all states. If you are not 100 percent satisfied after purchase, contact us for a full refund.
The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Complaint / Request for Divorce that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
Tennessee is not a hard six-month rule in every case (T.C.A. § 36-4-104). Divorce may be granted if the acts were committed while the plaintiff was a bona fide Tennessee resident, or, if the acts were committed out of state while the plaintiff lived out of state, if either party has lived in Tennessee for the six months next preceding filing. Official packets simplify this to: one or both lived in Tennessee for the past 6 months, or lived in Tennessee when they decided to divorce. File in Circuit, Chancery, or, in some counties, General Sessions. Ask the clerk which court hears divorces and file in only one court.
This packet uses only irreconcilable differences (T.C.A. § 36-4-101(a)(14)). Tennessee also requires a written marital dissolution agreement (T.C.A. § 36-4-103). Do not use these forms if either spouse is pregnant, or if there is real property, a business, or retirement other than Social Security. This packet is not the two-year living-apart ground and not a fault divorce.
An irreconcilable-differences case with no unmarried child under 18 must be on file 60 days before hearing (T.C.A. § 36-4-103(c)(1)). Official packets tell every no-children customer to wait 60 days from filing. You are not divorced until the judge signs the Final Decree and the clerk files it. Official papers also warn of a 30-day appeal period. Court schedules vary by county.
No. This packet is built for agreed cases only. Both spouses must agree on the marital dissolution agreement. If your spouse will contest the case, consult a Tennessee attorney.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Tennessee attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
