Divorce
Going through a divorce is never easy, but when it comes to a contested divorce, the process becomes even more complicated. A contested divorce case starts with the filing of a complaint by one spouse and can end either in settlement or trial. In any case, the court must determine the fair and equitable division of marital assets and debts, spousal support if applicable, and child support and parenting issues, if applicable. It is important to seek the counsel of a knowledgeable family law attorney or divorce lawyer who can guide you through the complicated legal process and protect your rights during this trying time.
Dissolution
When a marriage is no longer working, individuals have the option to pursue a dissolution of the marriage. It is a process in which both parties come to an agreement on all issues or legal matters that would otherwise be determined in a contested divorce. With proper legal assistance, negotiations for the settlement occur early on in the process, making it a more efficient way to end a marriage. Once an agreement is reached, a petition for dissolution is submitted to the court, which includes the parties' agreed-upon terms. A brief hearing takes place and the court terminates the marriage. This process is front-loaded, meaning all negotiations are done initially, leaving no room for future disagreements. Choosing a dissolution of marriage over a traditional divorce can lead to a quicker and less stressful end to your marriage.
