What Is Divorce?
A divorce is also known as dissolution of marriage. The court hands down a judgment of divorce which means that the marriage between two people does not prevail any longer. Once you are divorced you are legally allowed to get married again, if you so choose. If you were married for a long period of time and have acquired a lot of property and/or assets you will need the services of a family law attorney to help facilitate a fair and equal division of your assets. Also, if you have children, the subject of custody needs to be addressed as well as child support and alimony.
The spouse initiating the divorce is required to express the reason, or ground, for the divorce in the paperwork submitted to the court. Some states allow you to state your grounds as “fault” although currently all states offer a “no-fault” option. In the “no-fault” divorce neither spouse lays blame on the other for the disintegration of the marriage.
