What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas (Johnson County)
Hello, I appreciate you taking the time to read this and possibly add any useful information for me.
Here's my story in a nutshell.
My wife and I are married for 1 year and 6 months (and some change) now, and things went sour, really fast, and really bad. At the end of our relationship (on December 5 this past year) I found out that she was having a hidden relationship of sorts with another man living in Illinois (17 years old, no physical contact yet, strictly internet/phone relationship including "cybersex" and sexual solicitation in the form of nudity in pictures, that I cannot exactly prove.)
I moved out the day after finding this out, but I have no verifiable proof other than a few of her chat logs from the PC and a few of her diary entries (typed, not handwritten). So having an 'Adultery' grounds for divorce is kind of out of the question right? She says she'll fight me all the way and dispute that everything I have as evidence could have been made up/planted by me.
But she is willing to get a divorce as much as I am, and we are both willing to file one under "mutual understanding" if that's possible? She has 2 children that aren't mine (before I came along, I have no custody or rights, nor do I want any), and neither of us have any property (or vehicles). It would be undisputed because neither of us wants anything from the other, like property, vehicles, or any other asset. She lives in government funded housing and I am living with my parents as of right now. Basically we just want to be rid of each other as quick as humanly possible, for the lowest cost possible, because neither of us really have a spare penny to our name.
So my questions are: Do we qualify for a divorce in AR under a "mutual understanding" or do we need other grounds? I have done a lot of research and every other site tells me something different about it.
If we cannot get one for "mutual agreement", I fear that I'll have to wait 18 months from Dec. 5th to file. If the mutual agreement isn't an option, do I have any other options to speed this process up?
