In Ohio, there are a couple of different ways that a marriage can be ended. One way is by “dissolution” and the other is by “divorce.” Below you will find some information about the differences between the two.
Dissolution
- In a dissolution, both partners agree on all terms of the divorce
- Unless total agreement is present, this may be stressful and a waste of option for many individuals
- Contrary to popular belief, dissolutions are often not a cheap and quick way to obtain a divorce, but can actually be very expensive
Divorce
- Can be “at fault” or “no fault”
- “At fault” divorces includes cases of abuse, cheating, neglect, or abandonment
- “No fault” divorces includes cases where neither partner blames the other
