Filing an Uncontested Divorce in North Dakota
The facts that shape a North Dakota divorce — confirmed with you during intake.
Where you file
District Court
Residency requirement
One spouse must have been a North Dakota resident for at least 6 months, a requirement that must be satisfied by the time the court grants the divorce judgment (the case may be filed earlier).
Court filing fee
$80 — varies by county, passed through at cost
Waiting period
No mandatory post-filing waiting period beyond completing the 6-month residency requirement; timing otherwise is driven by court processing.
Grounds
North Dakota allows no-fault divorce on the ground of irreconcilable differences, requiring no proof of fault when both spouses agree.
Typical timeline
Most uncontested (stipulated) cases finalize in about 30 to 60 days after filing once the settlement paperwork is submitted, provided the 6-month residency requirement has already been met.
Serving your spouse
If both spouses sign the necessary documents (stipulated divorce), no service of process is required.
Fee waiver
Fee waivers are available by submitting a Request to Waive Filing Fees if you qualify based on income.
