The dissolution of a marriage in Montana requires a showing of the irretrievable breakdown of a marriage. The process requires the allocation of property of the married couple, the fair division of debts, the planning for the shared parenting of minor children, including their support, and the restoration of persons to the status of single persons.
In Montana a dissolution of marriage is an uncontested jurisdiction. That is that marriage will end if one of the parties to the marriage request it. The conduct, or rather, the misconduct, of a party to a marriage is not necessary. The court, however, must make the finding that the marriage is irretrievably broken and that there is no prospect of reconciliation.
