If you have been married for less than five years, have no children, don’t own any real estate and have limited property and debts, then you may qualify for a summary dissolution. This is an easier process that typically doesn’t require an appearance before a judge. You and your spouse need to come to an agreement of how you will divide your property and debts and file it along with a joint divorce petition. You still have to wait the required six months before the separation is final, but you don’t have to go through the various procedures that are required in a regular divorce.
