Arkansas-specific rules

Arkansas Divorce Requirements You Need to Know

Arkansas has specific residency and filing rules. Here’s what you need before starting your paperwork.

📍

Residency Requirement — 60 days

At least one spouse must meet the Arkansas residency requirement of 60 days before filing. You do not need to have been married in Arkansas.

🏛️

Where to File — Circuit Court

You file with the Circuit Court in the jurisdiction where you currently reside. Arkansas has 75 counties — the service provides location-specific instructions.

📋

Grounds for Divorce

No-fault (general indignities or separation for 18 months) or fault-based. The online service handles uncontested no-fault cases — the most common and straightforward route.

⏱️

Waiting Period — 30 days

Arkansas’s mandatory waiting period is 30 days. Arkansas requires 18 months of separation for no-fault unless fault grounds are used.

👨‍👩‍👧

Cases with Children — Fully Supported

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Arkansas Online Divorce

Is online divorce in Arkansas actually legal and court-approved?

Yes. OnlineDivorce.com prepares the official Arkansas Circuit Court forms required by law — the same forms you’d get from an attorney. The service prepares your documents; you file them yourself at your local Circuit Court. The court processes them the same as any other filing. All documents are court-ready and state-specific to Arkansas.

What does “uncontested divorce” mean in Arkansas?

Uncontested means both spouses reach agreement before the divorce is finalized — not necessarily before you start your paperwork. You’ll need to agree on property division, any debt, child custody, support, and parenting arrangements. If you ultimately can’t agree on a major issue, a Arkansas court would need to decide — at which point an attorney becomes necessary.

What’s the real total cost? I saw something about $39.99/month.

The one-time fee is $199 for 30 days of full document access. After 30 days, the account automatically renews at $39.99/month until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account profile — no penalty, no phone call required. Most users finish their documents within the initial 30-day window. Still, $199 (or even $199 + one renewal) is a fraction of the $9,500+ average attorney cost in Arkansas.

How do I file my Arkansas divorce documents after I receive them?

Your completed documents come with step-by-step filing instructions specific to your Arkansas jurisdiction. You’ll file at your local Circuit Court — in person or by mail in most locations. Arkansas has a 30 days waiting period after filing before a judge can sign your final decree. The optional $399 Platinum Filing Service can file for you if preferred.

We were married in another state — can we still file for divorce in Arkansas?

Yes. Where you were married doesn’t matter. What matters is where you currently live. As long as the Arkansas residency requirement of 60 days is met by at least one spouse, you can file here — regardless of where the marriage took place.

Can I use this service if we have property, retirement accounts, or a business?

Yes — the questionnaire covers division of real estate, vehicles, retirement accounts (including QDRO guidance), business interests, and shared debt. As long as both spouses agree on how to divide these assets, the service can prepare the necessary documents. If there’s a major dispute, a Arkansas family law attorney would be needed to litigate.
