MONTANA

Before filing for dissolution of marriage, one of the spouses must be a resident of Montana for 90 days. The papers should be filed for in the county where the petitioner has been a resident for the previous 90 days. [Montana Code Annotated; Section 25, Title 2-118; and Section 40,:~Title 1-104].

The only ground for a dissolution of marriage in Montana is: Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and serious marital discord which adversely affects the attitude of both spouses towards the marriage and no reasonable prospect of reconciliation and living separate and apart for 180 days prior to filing. All three of these factors must be met to satisfy the grounds for dissolution of marriage.
