Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Divorce

Q: How does a divorce differ from a dissolution?

A: Both a divorce and a dissolution are methods of terminating a marriage contract between two individuals. Both will give each person the legal right to marry someone else, will legally divide the couple's assets and debts, and determine the care and custody of their children. The difference is that a dissolution requires the spouses to AGREE on all major aspects of the break-up, including property division, and custody of their children. Whether to pursue a divorce or a dissolution is a legal question that I can help you answer.
