What's the difference between a divorce and a dissolution of marriage?

What's the difference between a divorce and a dissolution of marriage?

Both a divorce and a dissolution of marriage will terminate your marriage, but there are subtle differences between the two. A divorce usually has to be filed based on a fault, like adultery or extreme cruelty. A dissolution of marriage is often chosen by spouses who believe no side is at fault.

While the divorce process relies on court hearings and subpoenas to come to acceptable agreements, the dissolution of marriage process expects both parties to come to those agreements outside of court on their own.

In addition to dissolutions of marriage and divorce, we also offer legal services for:

  • Child support
  • Child custody
  • Alimony
