Fax Legal Tennessee Divorce Forms For Free

Does Tennessee require separation before divorce? Tennessee doesn't require spouses to separate before divorce, unless a spouse files for a no-fault divorce based on two-year separation (as discussed above). But many spouses do separate before or during the divorce process.

Your request to be divorced must be on file for 60 days for an uncontested divorce to be ordered by the Court if you have no minor children. If you have minor children with your spouse, however, then you must wait for 90 days after filing for divorce before a divorce decree will be ordered.

An uncontested divorce can often be the fastest and cheapest way for spouses to legally separate. However, in the state of Tennessee, only couples that do not have any minor children together (biological or adopted) qualify for an uncontested divorce.

Generally, most divorces will require you to complete, sign, and notarize each of the following forms: Complaint for Divorce. Spouse's Personal Information. Health Insurance Notice. Agreed Permanent Parenting Plan (if applicable) Divorce Agreement. Final Decree of Divorce. Court Order for Divorcing Spouses.

In limited circumstances, it is possible to get an ?agreed divorce? in Tennessee without hiring an attorney. The Tennessee Supreme Court has approved divorce forms that, if properly completed, must be accepted by all Tennessee courts that hear divorce cases.

If you don't have attorneys' fees, an uncontested divorce in TN could cost under $1,000, including the $200 -$400 filing fee. If you choose to hire legal representation, though, the cost of your divorce could increase.
