Differences Between Divorce, Dissolution & Separation
Divorce
Legal divorce in California is a process that formally ends a marriage and resolves important issues regarding child care, finances, and dividing property. Unlike dissolution of marriage, contested divorce may involve court proceedings if the couple cannot reach agreements on these matters — this is where working with a California family law attorney can matter the most. This path results in the termination of the marriage, allowing both parties to remarry if they choose to do so.
Dissolution
Dissolution of marriage, also known as uncontested divorce in some jurisdictions, is a legal process where a married couple mutually agrees to end their marriage. In a dissolution of marriage, both parties can reach an agreement with Aguilar Justice Center on the same important issues without the need for court intervention. The main difference between dissolution of marriage and divorce is that dissolution does not require a court trial since the couple agrees on all terms.
Separation
Separation refers to a situation where a married couple decides to live apart while remaining legally married. During a separation, the couple may work on their marital issues or take time apart for personal reasons. Unlike dissolution of marriage or divorce, separation does not legally end the marriage. Couples may still have legal obligations to each other, such as financial support or property rights, depending on the jurisdiction.

Important Aspects of Dissolution/Separation to Understand
Spousal Support: Also known as alimony or maintenance, this is a legal obligation where one ex-spouse provides financial support to the other. The purpose of spousal support is to help ensure both spouses can maintain a similar standard of living post-divorce, especially if one spouse has a significantly lower income or financial resources.
Child Support & Custody: These arrangements are crucial aspects to discuss with a family court attorney. Child support refers to the financial assistance provided by one parent to the other for the care, upbringing, and well-being of the children. Child custody, on the other hand, determines where the children will live and how decisions regarding their upbringing will be made.
Dividing Assets: This is the process of determining how property and debts acquired during the marriage will be distributed between ex-spouses. This includes assets such as real estate, investments, retirement accounts, vehicles, and personal belongings, as well as debts like mortgages, loans, and credit card balances.
