The Missouri Certificate of Dissolution of Marriage (also known as a Divorce Decree) is a legal document that officially terminates a marriage. It is issued by the Circuit Court in the county where the couple was married and is the official record of the dissolution of the marriage. The Certificate of Dissolution of Marriage is one of the final steps in a divorce and must be signed by a judge to be legally binding. It outlines the terms of the divorce, including the division of assets, child custody, child support, alimony, and any other matters related to the divorce. There are two types of Missouri Certificate of Dissolution of Marriage: an uncontested dissolution and a contested dissolution. An uncontested dissolution is when both parties agree to the terms of the divorce and do not contest the dissolution. A contested dissolution occurs when one or both parties disagree with the terms of the dissolution and require a hearing to resolve any disputes.
