FAQ
Getting a divorce takes at least 6 months. There are 4 major parts of the process and they are the same for couples who are married and for those in a domestic partnership.​ It's the same process to get a legal separation.
Dissolution may be the better option if: You both are in agreement that the marriage simply isn't working. You both feel that no one, in particular, is at fault. Dissolutions are often called no-fault divorces.
To start a divorce or legal separation, you begin by filling out two court forms: a Petition and a Summons. If you and your spouse (or domestic partner) have children together, you will also need to fill out at least one other form about your children.
A summary dissolution is a simpler way to end a marriage or domestic partnership for couples who qualify and are able to work together. A summary dissolution becomes final 6 months after you file with the court. This shows the basic process.
You don't need to hire a lawyer to complete a summary dissolution, and you can represent yourself during the process. Even though the process is simpler than traditional divorce, one or both spouses or partners can hire attorneys to help them through the divorce.
