Military Divorce Montana: End Your Marriage From Any Duty Station
If you got married through a Montana proxy marriage service while stationed overseas or during deployment, you can end that marriage through Montana courts — without ever setting foot in the state.
Montana is one of the few states that allows double proxy marriage, where neither party needs to be physically present. This made it popular with military members who needed to get married quickly for benefits, housing, or deployment reasons. Now, when those marriages need to end, Montana courts can handle the dissolution just as easily.
Why Montana for Military Divorce?
Montana has become the go-to state for military divorce for several important reasons:
- Jurisdiction: If your marriage was formed in Montana, Montana courts have jurisdiction to dissolve it
- No residency requirement: For proxy marriages formed in Montana, neither spouse needs to be a Montana resident to file
- Remote process: Everything can be handled by mail and online — perfect for deployed service members
- Recognized nationwide: Your Montana decree is valid in all 50 states under the Full Faith and Credit Clause
Important for Military Members: Your Montana divorce or annulment decree will be recognized by the military for updating your records, BAH status, and benefits. We can provide certified copies of your decree for your unit's admin office.
Two Options: Annulment or Divorce
We offer two ways to end your Montana proxy marriage. Both are handled the same way, cost the same ($1,998), and result in a court decree that legally ends your marriage.
Annulment (Declaration of Invalidity)
Legally invalidates your marriage — as if it never happened. Popular with military members who married quickly and regretted it.
Requirements:
- Spouse made a false promise before marriage (common: promise to live together, have children, be faithful, etc.)
- Discovered within past 2 years
- Both willing to sign paperwork
- No children, or no custody disputes
Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage)
Traditional divorce for proxy marriages. Available to anyone — no time limit, no need to prove misrepresentation.
Requirements:
- Both willing to sign paperwork
- No children, or no custody disputes
- Marital assets under $50,000
- No jointly-owned real property

SCRA Protections for Military Divorce
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) provides important protections for active duty military members in legal proceedings. Here's what you need to know about SCRA and your Montana military divorce:
- SCRA allows postponement: Active duty members can request a stay (postponement) of court proceedings if military duties materially affect their ability to participate
- Our process minimizes SCRA issues: Because our process is uncontested (both parties agree) and handled by mail, SCRA delays rarely apply
- Deployment timing: We can work around deployment schedules — your case can wait for your return if needed, or proceed while deployed if you have mail access
- Both parties protected: If both spouses are military, both have SCRA rights
Note: If your spouse doesn't agree to the divorce or annulment, our uncontested process won't work and SCRA could become a factor. We only handle cases where both parties are willing to sign.
