Where can I find additional information about divorce?

We hope the following links to outside sources may provide helpful information.

The Missouri Judiciary has the court forms you may need if you want to file for divorce and guidance on the divorce process.

The Missouri Bar Association has a guide about divorce that includes a glossary of commonly used legal terms in divorce cases and information about maintenance.

Legal Services of Missouri has information about divorce, including the grounds for divorce and the residency requirements in Missouri.

WomensLaw.org is unrelated to the above organizations and cannot vouch for the accuracy of their sites. We provide these links for your information only.

You will find more information about divorce, including the risks of taking your children out of state while a divorce is pending, on our general Divorce page. To watch brief videos about divorce in Spanish with English subtitles, go to our Videos page. Lastly, learn more about the court process on our Preparing for Court – By Yourself page.
