Summary Dissolution

A summary dissolution in California is a way to end a marriage or a domestic partnership in a quicker, less complicated way. However, it is limited to couples who have no children, relatively few assets and debts, and a marriage or partnership that lasted five years or less, among other conditions. C4 can help you with the necessary paperwork to file with the county and guide you through the process.

Uncontested Divorce

If you do not meet the requirements for a summary dissolution, but your divorce is uncontested and you both agree on most issues, divorce mediation can save both sides time and money and you will never have to enter a courtroom or see a judge.

In California, the difference between a contested divorce and an uncontested divorce is that in a contested divorce, one or both parties disagree about the terms of the divorce – whether about if the divorce itself should happen, division of assets, allocation of debts, spousal support, child support or custody.

Alternatively, in an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on all material terms of the divorce and do not need the court to divide assets or make determinations for them about spousal or child support or custody. A mediator can help hammer out the details. C4 Legal Assistance has helped hundreds of couple save time, money and heartache by providing divorce mediation services. Let us help you.
