Arkansas Grounds for Divorce Arkansas is a fault divorce state. This means the plaintiff (filing for divorce), must prove there are reasons, referred to as grounds, for the divorce. No-fault grounds and fault-based grounds exist.

If you are served with a Complaint for Divorce, then you have 30 days to file an Answer, which is a written response to the Complaint. If you or your spouse is incarcerated when served with the Complaint for divorce, then you or your spouse has 60 days to file an Answer.

Once the defendant has signed the waiver forms or has not answered the complaint within 30 or 60 days, the case may continue by affidavit testimony. To do so, you must file a deposition and your witness must file a deposition.

If your spouse doesn't file a response within 30 days of being served, you can ask the court for a default. This means asking the court to decide the case without your spouse's input. In a divorce by default, the court will make decisions based on the information you file and what the law says.

To file for a divorce in Arkansas you must have lived in Arkansas for 60 days before filing and have grounds for divorce. The the most commonly used grounds for divorce are "general indignities" and "separation for 18 months." The grounds must have happened within the last five years.
