Arkansas 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 have.
Arkansas Residency Requirements
One of the spouses must have been a resident of Arkansas for 60 days before filing for divorce. The divorce cannot be finalized until one of the spouses has been a resident of the state for 3 full months.
Grounds For Divorce
The "no-fault" grounds for divorce in Arkansas require the Husband and Wife to have lived separate and apart from each other for eighteen (18) continuous months without sexual relations.
You may select the no-fault ground, or any of the following fault grounds:
- adultery
- impotence
- habitual drunkenness for one (1) year

- your spouse has offered such indignities to you that it has rendered his or her condition intolerable
