A few years ago, the Supreme Court of Tennessee started offering divorce forms approved “by the Tennessee Supreme Court as ‘universally acceptable as legally sufficient.’ This means that if the forms are filled out correctly that all Tennessee courts that hear divorce cases must accept the forms.” These forms are limited to circumstances that the Court describes as “agreed divorces” for cases without children.
