Minnesota Dissolution is a legal process that formally dissolves a marriage in the state of Minnesota. It is also known as divorce. There are two types of dissolution: Simplified and Traditional. Simplified dissolution is a simplified process which is quicker and less expensive than traditional dissolution. This option is available only if both parties agree to the terms and conditions of the dissolution. Traditional dissolution is a more traditional process which requires both parties to appear in court and present their case before a judge. Both parties must meet certain requirements in order to qualify for this type of dissolution. Both types of dissolution require filing forms with the court, serving papers to the other party, and attending court hearings. The final decision is made by the court.
