What is a “summary dissolution?
Generally speaking, couples who have been married less than five (5) years, have no children together, have very little property or debt, and can agree on how to divide their property and debt may obtain a summary dissolution. That means they have to fill out official divorce forms jointly and file them in the court, but they do not need a court hearing. There are more specific requirements. Some information and forms for a summary dissolution, such as Form 1295.11, Summary Dissolution Information are available on the Court’s website, but an attorney should be consulted.
