Minnesota Instructions — Summary Dissolution is a type of divorce process for married couples who have been married for less than five years and do not have any children. It is often referred to as a "no-fault" divorce, meaning neither spouse is at fault for the dissolution of the marriage. The process allows the couple to file a joint petition with the court and allows them to skip the more lengthy and costly divorce proceedings. The two types of Minnesota Instructions — Summary Dissolution are Uncontested Summary Dissolution and Contested Summary Dissolution. Uncontested Summary Dissolution is when both spouses agree to the terms of the divorce and agree to the division of property and debt. Contested Summary Dissolution is when one spouse does not agree to the terms of the divorce and/or does not agree to the division of property and debt.
