What is Summary Divorce?
Summary divorce is a divorce option most commonly aimed specifically at couples who have no kids and very few combined assets. Generally, they involve marriages which:
- Are short in duration, usually five years or less
- Involve no children, or (in some states) have already resolved child support payments
- Contain little or no realty property
- Have combined assets are under a certain value (usually around $35,000, excluding vehicles)
- Involve personal property belonging to each spouse is also under a certain value
If you meet these requirements, the summary divorce option allows you a much quicker, much more painless divorce. You avoid property and custody battles and there are fewer required court appearances (sometimes as few as two). If you do qualify for such a divorce, you may want to seriously consider it as a much less expensive, much less litigious divorce alternative.
