 How to File for No-Fault Divorce in Alabama
No-fault divorces are recognized by the State of Alabama. One party must allege that the marriage
is "irretrievably broken". This is commonly known as "irreconcilable differences" and means that
the two parties no longer get along.

Residency Requirements
In order to file for divorce in Alabama one of the spouses must be a resident of Alabama for 6
months prior to filing for divorce and the divorce must be filed under the appropriate jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction is determined by the county of residence of the spouses involved in the divorce.

Fill Out your Forms

When filing for a divorce you must file certain documents as required by the Court. The State of
Alabama offers a simplified process for couples seeking a divorce with no children, no assets, no
real estate, and no joint debts. In addition, any personal property (clothing, furniture, vehicles,
bank accounts, collections, etc) owned by the parties must have already been divided. The
simplified process allows the couple to file a Divorce Complaint (Form PS-08) to request the
divorce without the necessity of the Court intervening in any disputed matters.

When the parties seeking divorce have assets, joint debts, children or other issues requiring Court
intervention or ruling the parties must start the divorce with a Petition for Divorce. This form starts
the divorce action. The Petition details the couple's eligibility for divorce in Alabama, the reason for
divorce, along with any other matters they want the court to decide.

If both parties agree to the terms of their divorce, they should complete a Divorce Settlement
Agreement. You can use Rocket Lawyer's easy interview process to complete this agreement,
which outlines the terms of the division of property, assets and debts in your divorce. Completing
this document will help you avoid the cost and time involved in going to trial but is contingent on
the parties reaching an agreement and the Court approving and accepting the agreement.

Forms to be completed:
Divorce Complaint
Answer to Complaint
Waiver and Agreement to Take Testimony
Plaintiff's Testimony - No Children and No Assets
Request for Judgment by Default-No Children and No Assets
Affidavit of Residency

**Unfortunately, Alabama does not offer all forms electronically. You will need to contact your
local county court for missing forms.

Make Copies of your Forms

Once you have filled out the appropriate form, make at least two copies of each. One set will be
filed with your court clerk's office, and one should be kept for your records.

Bring your Completed Forms to your Court Clerk's Office and Pay the Fee
Proceed to your court clerk's office with the originals and copies of your forms. If everything is in
order, the clerk will use the original forms and ask you to pay a fee to file. Additional forms will be
required as the divorce proceeding works its way through the system. You will need to stay in
touch with the County Clerk to ensure no deadlines are missed.

Additional Assistance
Unfortunately the State of Alabama does not offer all forms electronically. For additional
assistance you can contact you county Clerk of Court's office to determine any additional forms
needed, the local procedures and requirements regarding divorce.
