Tennessee allows you to complete your divorce without an attorney if you and your spouse can come to an agreement on what to do with your property and how you will care for any children that you may have.
Tennessee Residency Requirements
At least one of you must have lived in Tennessee for a period of six months immediately before the divorce is filed. Alternatively, you can file for divorce in Tennessee if the grounds for divorce occurred in Tennessee, even if one spouse has not lived there for six months.
Grounds For Divorce
While there are several fault-based grounds for divorce in Tennessee, "irreconcilable differences" is the "no-fault" grounds for divorce and is the most commonly used. DivorceWriter provides no-fault (uncontested) divorce forms.
