The difference is in the process. A dissolution requires you and your spouse to agree on everything before you file. With a divorce, a judge will make decisions for you if you cannot agree with your spouse. Legal separation does not legally end your marriage.

In Ohio, spousal support may last indefinitely, may be modified up or down depending on the language in the decree, or terminate upon a certain date or specific event.

Laying all your cards on the table: By filing first, you usually have to present your list of requests or demands, which gives your spouse time to plan a rebuttal before going to court. Paying for more fees: If you are the spouse to petition for divorce in Ohio, you may be responsible for handling all filing fees.
