Divorce Law
Arkansas law requires at least one ground to be stated for filing a divorce. The most commonly used ground is either general indignities, or separation for 18 months or longer, however there are other grounds for divorce listed under the Arkansas Code, Family Law Section 9-12-301. The grounds claimed must have occurred within the last five years, and you must be able to prove the grounds in Court. A witness may be necessary to confirm the grounds, and testify that the party has lived in Arkansas for at least 60 days before filing.The Divorce Process - from Arkansas Legal Services Partnership
