How to File for Divorce in Alabama 

Whether your divorce case is contested or uncontested will determine how you’ll file for divorce in Alabama.

A contested divorce is a divorce case where the couple might not agree about the division of assets, debts, child support, or child custody. Additionally, with a contested divorce, the couple may not agree on the reasons or grounds for divorce. In Alabama, there are several grounds for divorce from which you can choose. There are no-fault grounds for divorce and “fault-based” grounds for divorce. While no-fault divorce may be simpler, there may be situations where a fault-based divorce is appropriate or may even be in your best interests when seeking a divorce settlement.

However, if both you and your former spouse agree about all issues related to your divorce, you may be able to file for an uncontested divorce. In order to file for an uncontested divorce, you’ll need to meet Alabama’s residency requirements, prepare all paperwork, complete your divorce settlement, and finalize your divorce. If you do not qualify to file for an uncontested divorce, you will have to serve divorce papers to your spouse and attend court hearings, and your case may be more complicated.

Regardless of your situation, I will assist you. I can take the time to review your situation, help you understand your rights and responsibilities, select the best course forward when it comes to filing for divorce, and take the next steps. Contact me today to learn more.
