divorce litigation
Marital dissolution proceedings
Divorce litigation is the legal process of ending a marriage through the court system, typically when spouses cannot reach agreement on terms like property division, custody, or support.
Unlike mediation or collaborative divorce, litigation involves attorneys arguing before a judge who makes binding decisions: After months of failed negotiations, they resigned themselves to divorce litigation.
The process is often costly, adversarial, and emotionally draining.
