Fill Out Your Paperwork

You have to file out some paperwork to get a summary dissolution.

You need to fill out:

• 3 worksheets,
• A property agreement, and
• A Joint Petition.

You may also need to fill out additional forms:

• Fee Waiver Forms
• Local Court Forms

Usually, you have to pay a fee when you go to court. The fee for a summary dissolution is usually more than $200. If you don't make much money, you ask the court for a "fee waiver (opens in new window)." If the court gives you the fee waiver, you won't have to pay the court fees.

To get a fee waiver, you have to fill out 2 more forms. Click here for fee waiver forms and instructions, and more information about court fees.

Some courts ask you to fill out local forms when you ask for a summary dissolution. Check your court's web site or contact the court to see if you have to fill out any local forms.
