Residency Requirements
Either spouse must have been a resident of the state of Maine for no less than six months.
Reasons for Divorce in the State of Maine
An irreconcilable marital difference is a legal no-fault ground for divorce in this state.
Other reasons that may be granted for fault grounds are the following: adultery, impotence, extreme cruelty, desertion, continuous abandonment for 3 years prior, abuse of liquor or drugs, cruelty and inhumane treatment, and mental insanity of the spouse.
Parenting Issues
Any agreement reached on custody will be accepted by the judge unless it is not in the child's best interests, safety and well-being. If no agreement is reached by both parties, the judge will conclude the matter after consideration. Sole physical custody and joint legal custody are preferable.
Child Support
Maine child support will depend on the parents’ gross income and the child's associated expenses. However, in some instances courts will order an amount that deviates from the guideline amount. If you consider the deviation is suitable to your situation, you must supply the court with a written explanation of the motives.
Venue
The divorce should be filed in Maine courts where the complainant or the defendant is a resident.
Filing Fees
Remember to ask your county’s court officer about filing fees, since we do not include court filing fees — which differ from county to county.
