Is Missouri a No-Fault Divorce State?
Understanding whether you can file an at-fault or no-fault divorce in Missouri is an important step in the process.
Yes, Missouri is indeed a no-fault divorce state. This designation means that couples seeking a divorce in Missouri are not required to prove fault or misconduct of the other spouse to get their divorce granted. Instead, they only have to demonstrate that their marriage is irretrievably broken and cannot be salvaged. This major aspect of Missouri divorce laws allows for a smoother facilitation of the divorce process, as there is no need for blame games or accusations, thus making the whole process less contentious and emotionally draining.
This leaves separating spouses to determine if they will be filing for divorce in Missouri as either contested or uncontested.
