What is the difference between divorce and dissolution (annulment)?
A dissolution is a process which contemplates the parties working together to structure a complete settlement agreement resolving all issues regarding real estate, division of assets/debts, child/spousal support, and parental rights and responsibilities in advance of filing the Petition for Dissolution with the court. As a dissolution is resolved by agreement, it is ordinarily the quickest and therefore most cost-effective way to terminate a marriage.
