Divorce and Dissolution
The primary difference between a divorce and dissolution, is reaching a mutual agreement.
Dissolution - When both parties have worked out all terms and are prepared to file an agreement, they may do so. The official document set forth for dissolution is a Separation Agreement and possibly, a Shared Parenting Plan.
Divorce - The parties have not been able to reach an agreement on terms such as property, income, parenting and more. Because there is no agreement, a divorce will need to be filed. Divorces typically require much more work and court. If an agreement is not eventually reached, your issues will be decided by a judge.
