Divorce (or the dissolution of marriage) is the final termination of a marital union, cancelling the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and dissolving the bonds of matrimony between the parties. In most countries divorce requires the sanction of a court or other authority in a legal process. In Canada, Saskatchewan allows married persons to "become the spouse of a person who has a spouse" {s.51 Saskatchewan Family Property Act}. As such divorce is not required in order to be judicially declared the legal spouse of another person simultaneous to an existing marriage. The legal process for divorce may also involve issues of spousal support, child custody, child support, distribution of property and division of debt.

In most Western countries, a divorce does not declare a marriage null and void, as in an annulment, but it does cancel the married status of the parties. Where monogamy is law, this allows each former partner to marry another. Where polygyny is legal, divorce allows the woman to marry another. Divorce laws vary considerably around the world. Divorce is not permitted in some countries, such as in Malta and in the Philippines, though an annulment is permitted. From 1971 to 1996, four European countries legalised divorce: Spain, Italy, Portugal and the Republic of Ireland.

What reasons would divorce case be in district court and not family court?
Q. My divorce case is being held in district court and not family court. What would cause that? Could it be because there is a pending civil suit, also?
Asked by Dani - Sat Aug 22 15:55:00 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Here in MN, the family court is part of the district court, so if you got papers that say "district court" that doesn't necessarily mean it's not in family court.

How do I determine if my divorce is final?
Q. I want to be certain that all necessary documents have been filed to make my Pennsylvania divorce final. Anyone know what I should check to determine this. My ex had his attorney handle all the paper work and I want to make sure that he isn't keeping any info from me. It's a no fault divorce, so I don't know. What do I need to look for and where? Any help is appreciated.

A. If he has not provided you with the paperwork, then you can call the county clerks office and ask for a copy of your finalized divorce decree.

How would I transfer house to my name upon divorce?
Q. My husband & I bought a house 1 year ago. The title and mortgage under both names. He moved out to live with another woman, but agreed to divorce and let me have the house. We haven't filed for divorce yet. I am concern about the house. Can I transfer the title and mortgage under my name? When will I do that, before divorce or after? I have 13 year-old daughter from my previous marriage.Please advise.

A. He can do a quit claim for the deed to get that in your name only and his name off. BUT...as for the mortgage..that's not so easy. If he wants off the mortgage, you would have to be able to refinance this mortgage on your credit and income alone. Otherwise, he is stuck ... In some cases, the court may order that the family home be sold or one partner buy out the other.

Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the ending of a marriage before the death of either spouse.

  • "Marriage is wonderful when it lasts forever, and I envy the old couples in When Harry Met Sally who reminisce tearfully about the day they met 50 years before. I no longer believe, however, that a marriage is a failure if it doesn't last forever. It may be a tragedy, but it is not necessarily a failure. And when a marriage does last forever with love alive, it is a miracle." Peggy O'Mara, Mothering, Fall 1989
