A divorce — referred to in some states as a dissolution of marriage — is a decree by a court that a valid marriage no longer exists. A divorce leaves both parties free to remarry.
Tim and Courtney have been married for eight years. They live in a rental apartment and have one child. They each work outside the home and earn $40,000 per year. They have decided to divorce, but their break up is comparatively amicable. They agree between themselves about how to divide the property and debts they have. With the help of a court-affiliated mediator, they have agreed to a joint custody arrangement with their child. Do Courtney or Tim need a lawyer to handle the divorce?
