Summary Dissolution Self Help Information/Procedural Guidelines A shorter and easier process of getting a divorce is called a

Summary Dissolution. Not everyone can use this process. Please read the

Summary Dissolution Information Booklet (form FL-810) to make sure this is the appropriate process for you, and to assist you in completing the forms. By signing the Joint Petition for

Summary Dissolution, both parties are stating that they have both read and understand the information booklet. A

Summary Dissolution is possible for couples who meet the following criteria:  have no children together  have been married for less than 5 years (from date of marriage to date of separation)  don’t own more than $43,000.00 in property  don’t owe more than $6,000.00 in debt  have no disagreements about how their belongings and their debts are going to be divided up once they are no longer married to each other. With this procedure you won’t have to appear in court. You may not need a lawyer, but it may be in your best interest to see a lawyer about the ending of your marriage.
