Do I need grounds for Divorce in Missouri?

To be granted a divorce in Missouri, the court just needs to find that there remains no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved and that therefore the marriage is irretrievably broken.

How long does it take for a divorce in Missouri?

The length of time it takes to get divorced can vary based on the cooperation of the parties and whether or not the divorce is contested or non-contested. Most non-contested divorces can be accomplished in a matter of a few months. A very difficult child custody case may take closer to a year before the conclusion is reached.
