How to Start a Divorce?

In this video, we talk about how to file a dissolution of marriage.

In the court system, you have to file two documents:

  1. Summons - the notice that you give to the other side that you intend to terminate the marriage.

  2. Petition - tells the court how long you have been married. This helps the court determine if you are in a short term or long term marriage.
