Divorce, Dissolution

Divorce, Dissolution, both Contested and Uncontested.  “Divorce” or “Dissolution” both refer to the legal conclusion of a marriage.  A “Contested Divorce” means that you haven’t yet resolved all the issues in your marriage to bring it to a conclusion.  An “Uncontested Divorce” means that you have resolved all the issues necessary to bring your marriage to a legal conclusion.  Most cases that begin as a “Contested Divorce” transition into an “Uncontested Divorce” through the use of the Collaborative Process, Mediation, or other creative dispute resolution combinations.
