Summary dissolution is a streamlined, expedited process in Minnesota that allows you to get a divorce within 30 days after you file a divorce petition—without ever appearing in a courtroom—if you meet the strict requirements.

If your petition is approved, you should receive a Notice of Entry of a Decree of Dissolution from the court 30 days after you file it, which means your marriage is ended. The dissolution is not final until the decree is entered.

What are the grounds for divorce in Minnesota? A judge can grant you a divorce if s/he finds that there was an “irretrievable breakdown” of your marriage, which means your marriage cannot be saved. Unlike in many other states, there are no fault-based grounds for divorce in Minnesota.

A summary dissolution is an easier way to get divorced or end a domestic partnership. It's less expensive and there's not as much paperwork as the standard divorce process. Not everyone can use this process.

The most simple procedure in Minnesota is a summary dissolution, which is available if: there are no minor children. the wife is not pregnant. the parties have been married for less than eight years.

The summary dissolution process includes fewer steps than a traditional divorce. For instance, spouses don't need to go to court for a hearing or trial. In addition, the couple has a written property agreement, so they don't need court involvement to handle this issue.

It involves filing a sworn joint declaration that contains various pieces of information, including each spouse's non-marital property, the agreed division of their marital assets and verification of each spouse's income. To qualify for a summary dissolution, you must meet a strict set of requirements.
