Grounds
Getting a divorce in Arkansas typically require you to have grounds for the divorce.
Arkansas law allows “non-fault” divorces only if the parties have lived separate and apart without cohabitation over an 18 month period.
Property division
Dividing property in a divorce requires in-depth focus on all assets and debts acquired.
The first step in property division is to determine if the property is separate or martial.
Generally, property is separate if a spouse owned it before marriage or acquired it during marriage by gift or inheritance.
Arkansas law requires an equitable, or fair, division. The law also states that equitable usually means equal, but a judge who believes that a precisely equal division would be unfair can divide the property in a different proportion after considering numerous factors.
