Can a dissolution of marriage be settled?
Yes. Your case can be settled at any time even before the case is filed with the Court. Almost all cases are settled, including non-Collaborative cases. There are many reasons to settle instead of going to trial. These reasons include: (a) trial is extremely expensive, (b) trial is emotionally difficult for you and the witnesses, (c) the outcome at trial is difficult to predict, (d) the future relationship between parents and between parents and children can be permanently impaired due to trial.
