Dissolving a marriage is never an easy decision. Not only do you need to think about ending your marriage and what is best for you, it is important to also consider how your decision affects your entire family. Most people understand that ending a marriage is a tough emotional decision, but few are prepared for the detailed nature of the legal process of dissolving a marriage. Since ending a marriage is about undoing a relationship that was sanctioned by law, spouses must pay special attention to what the law requires to end that relationship. 

There are four major aspects of divorce:
