The Minnesota Affidavit of Non-Military Status (Dissolution Without Children) is a form that married couples file with the court when they are seeking a divorce without any children involved. This affidavit is used to certify that neither party is in the military and is therefore eligible for a dissolution without children. The affidavit must be completed and signed by both parties, and the court will use it to verify the non-military status of the parties. There are two types of Minnesota Affidavit of Non-Military Status (Dissolution Without Children): the Traditional affidavit and the Simplified affidavit. The Traditional affidavit requires more information and must be notarized. The Simplified affidavit is a shorter version of the Traditional affidavit, but does not require a notarization. Both versions are available on the Minnesota Judicial Branch website.
