The Court Guam Divorce Form covers the complete set of requirements for filing a divorce petition in the Superior Court of Guam. It establishes the legal grounds for dissolution under 7 GCA § 3105 and confirms that the residency threshold in 19 GCA § 8318(b) has been met. Both parties are identified by name, address, and their legal relationship to the marriage.
The form records the foundational facts of the marriage: the date and place of ceremony, the date of separation, and the total duration of the union. If minor children were born or adopted during the marriage, their names and ages must be disclosed. This information is essential for any custody or support arrangement the court may order as part of the final decree.
Community property and shared debts are addressed in a dedicated section. The plaintiff must list all known assets and liabilities accumulated during the marriage. The form acknowledges that additional property or debts may be discovered after filing, allowing the court to address any items not identified at the time the petition is submitted.
Irreconcilable differences is the primary legal ground cited on the form, along with a declaration that no possibility of reconciliation exists. The plaintiff's prayer for relief requests the formal dissolution of the marriage, equitable division of community assets and debts, and, where applicable, the restoration of the petitioner's former name.
Two verification sections appear at the end of the document. Pro se litigants, those representing themselves without an attorney, must sign a declaration under penalty of perjury confirming the accuracy of all statements. A separate section allows defendants who agree to the divorce terms to waive their rights under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940 without requiring a formal court appearance.
