The Clerk of District Court's office located in the Law and Justice Center is restricted from providing legal advice because we are not practicing attorneys. However, in a few instances, we do offer templates that you may use to file a divorce proceeding as Pro Se (without an attorney).
The following packets are available for $10:
Uncontested Dissolution of Marriage without children and no real property
Summary Dissolution of Marriage without children
Summary Dissolution of Marriage with children
If you choose to use one of these packets, the filing fee is $190 along with the judgment entry fee of $45. It can be made in one payment to the Clerk of Court. If you are unable to pay the fees, you can file an Affidavit of Inability to Pay, which you can get from our office. It must be approved by a District Court Judge before you will be allowed to file for dissolution. Additional information is available from the State Bar Association at www.montanalawhelp.org and from the State Law Library at http://courts.mt.gov/library/default.asp
