Summary Dissolution

Hello Divorce will prepare, process, and file all of your documents for uncontested Summary Dissolution, which is a simpler divorce process for those who have been married less than 5 years, have no children together, and meet certain financial criteria.

To qualify for summary dissolution, you must satisfy the following:

• Have been married for less than 5 years (from the date you got married to the date you separated);
• Have no children together born or adopted before or during the marriage (and you are not expecting a new child now);
• Do not own any part of land or buildings;
• Do not rent any land or buildings (except for where you now live with limited exceptions);
• Do not owe more than $6,000 for debts acquired since the date you got married (referred to as “community obligations”)*;
• Have less than $47,000 worth of property acquired since the date you got married (called “community property”)*;
• Do not have separate property worth more than $47,000;
• Agree that neither spouse will ever get spousal support; and
• Have signed an agreement that divides your property and debts.

*There are some exceptions to the calculation.

Please note that the court filing fee is not included.
