What Is a Dissolution of Marriage?
A dissolution of marriage takes place when both parties agree to end the marital relationship by filing a petition for the dissolution and attaching a separation agreement. All the conditions of the separation agreement must be agreed upon by both parties in order for the dissolution to take place.
After the petition is filed, a hearing to approve the separation typically takes place 10 to 90 days later. Both parties must be present and must agree to the dissolution of their marriage under oath. If one party does not agree or is not happy with the separation agreement, the dissolution cannot take place. In many cases, this matter is converted to a divorce action.
