How do I get a divorce in Montana?

In Montana, to grant a divorce, the court must determine that:

1) the couple has lived separate and apart for more than 180 consecutive days before the petition for divorce is filed; or

2) that there is serious marital discord between the parties and there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.

Most frequently, my firm sees those falling under #2.  Most people are still living together when they determine that a divorce is going to happen.  As long as there is serious marital discord between the parties and there is no reasonable prospect of reconcilation, a couple is able to get divorced in Montana.
