What is a Dissolution of Marriage?
In a marriage dissolution, both parties negotiate and sign a separation agreement and file a petition in the court jointly. Prior to filing in court, they will have identified and reached agreement on all issues that must be addressed in a divorce matter including designation of a residential parent, allocation of parental rights, visitation, child support, spousal support, division of property assets, payment of debts and more. This is different than a traditional divorce in that fault grounds are not an issue and, because there is no court involvement until an agreement is reached, all the temporary orders and possible hearings that might occur in a divorce case are avoided.
If you and your spouse are on relatively good terms and feel that you can work together to reach an agreement to all terms to end your marriage, dissolution may be the best option to consider. A dissolution not only will save time, it can reduce legal fees, court costs, avoid conflict and confrontation and is often less painful emotionally for all parties involved.
In the event that you do face a dispute with your spouse on any issues and find that marriage dissolution won’t work after all, we can also represent you in the divorce process.
Trust the Nigh Law Group and our attorneys to help you during this difficult time.
