To get into more detail, before filing for divorce in North Dakota, you must be an ND resident for at least 6 months. Because every divorce proceeding is unique, we will need information about your circumstances to better determine an accurate timeline for your proceeding. Uncontested divorces (where both spouses agree on all issues) are typically the fastest, often taking 30-90 days. If you have children or significant assets, however, the process will likely take longer. If you and your spouse disagree on a variety of issues, you may need to take your divorce to court if you aren’t able to come to a resolution through mediation. This will be the most expensive and time-consuming path.
Child Support
Property division and spousal/child support. In what is referred to as “discovery,” both spouses share information about their assets, debts, income, and more. If you and your spouse cannot come to an agreement regarding asset division and alimony either on your own or in mediation, you will need to go to trial. Once you arrive at a resolution, a judge will issue a divorce decree, which is the document declaring your legal divorce and outlining the division of property and other terms.
Child Custody and Visitation
Hiring a divorce lawyer can help navigate this process and ensure all necessary paperwork is properly filled out and filed. A divorce lawyer can also provide valuable guidance on important decisions such as the division of assets and child custody arrangements.
Adoption
Paternity
Guardianship
Spousal Support
Legal Separation
Annulment
Many believe divorce and annulment are interchangeable terms. While both end marriage, annulment goes a step further and declares the marriage invalid from the beginning. Even if you and your spouse agree to the terms, you will need to go to court to obtain an annulment.

Hit and Run
Avoid Leaving Without Exchanging Information: If you leave the scene of the accident without exchanging information, multiple problems may arise. First, it may prevent you from being able to take additional action against the liable party for property damages or in a third-party lawsuit. Second, it may appear as though you committed a hit-and-run. This is an illegal act that can not only impact your ability to file a personal injury claim but could also result in criminal charges.
