A divorce in Montana legally ends the marriage and changes your status from married to single.
A divorce must also:
1) determine living arrangements for your minor children and the allotted contact time between each parent,
2) determine child support and medical support for your minor children,
3) divide your property, and determine which spouse receives what, and
4) divide your debts, and determine who will be responsible for what debts.
Your attorney will file a petition for dissolution, which will discuss each of these items. If your spouse disagrees with you over how any of these issues should be resolved, their lawyer will file a response. Once a response is filed, the case becomes a contested divorce case.
