Dissolution of Marriage

Dissolution of marriage, commonly referred to as divorce, is the legal process that ends a marital relationship. It involves the formal termination of the marriage contract, resulting in both parties returning to single status. This process often includes settling issues such as the division of property, financial support, and, if applicable, child custody and visitation arrangements. The dissolution acknowledges that the marriage can no longer continue, allowing both individuals to move on with their lives independently. Each jurisdiction has specific laws and procedures governing the process, which can vary widely.
