Information on Tennessee Divorce.
Here is a recap of information on Tennessee divorce. Looking over updated information on Tennessee divorce, pretty much everything has stayed the same. To file for divorce you must live in the state for at least 6 months, and the spouse filing for the divorce, must reside in the county they are filing in, but there is not a time on how long, but you must show residency in the county. The divorce process is called a complaint for divorce. There is no fault and fault based divorces in Tennessee, so lets tale a look at the no fault codes for divorce.
1. Irreconcilable differences, now you both must be in agreement that the marriage is broken and both of you agree that the marriage is over resulting in divorce, without any disagreements.
2. OR that the 2 of you have been living apart for 2 years, again no fault between the 2, but that the marriage has been broken.
Now in a no fault based divorce without having to go to court, you must be in agreement over all, the divorce itself of course, debt division, property division, child support, child custody. Now there is still a 90 day waiting period for the divorce to be final. You will also have to wait that 90 days if you are in any disagreement for a court date.
Now here is a list of fault based divorces, that must be proved in the divorce court itself. So its important to remember, if your just wanting out of the marriage get out, do not point fingers in the divorce, that your spouse was bad. If there are faults gather your proof for divorce court. It is very important. Now here is a list of fault based divorce grounds.
1. Adultery is grounds for divorce.
2. If a spouse has been deserted or abandoned for a 2 year period...a divorce process can take place.
