A divorce, or a  dissolution, are the processes of legally terminating a marriage.

A dissolution is a consensual termination of marriage with the grounds for termination designated as  incompatibly.  Both parties must agree to all terms and conditions regarding the property settlement and debt apportionment.  They also must agree to  all  terms regarding children’s issues including custody, parenting time and child support.

A divorce is where one or more of the parties are unable to agree to all terms of a termination of marriage.  In other words, one or both of the parties has the desire to contest certain issues concerning a property settlement, debt settlement or children’s issues. 

Another form of divorce is an uncontested divorce, wherein one of the parties does not contest the terms of the divorce as presented by the other party to the court.

There are many issues which may come up during the course of a divorce or dissolution which may present obstacles to ending a marriage without dispute. Some of issues which may arise may include:

• Child Custody and Visitation;

• Shared Parenting or Joint Custody Agreements;

• Child Support;

• Child Paternity;

• Spousal Support (alimony);

• Division of Marital Property & Assets;

• Division of Debt.
