This guide covers divorce and dissolution end to end, for the party navigating a case and the lawyer handling one. Part 1 covers jurisdiction, residency, grounds, and the constitutional floor from Boddie and Sosna, including the divisible-divorce problem that arises when one court can dissolve a marriage but cannot reach the property. Part 2 covers pleadings, automatic orders, and the temporary relief that quietly sets the shape of the case, and Part 3 covers disclosure, discovery, and the joint-return tax exposure that survives the decree. Part 4 covers property: the two systems, characterization, commingling and tracing, dissipation, debt allocation, and valuation. Part 5 covers retirement division and the qualified domestic relations order that is routinely never entered. Part 6 covers spousal support and Part 7 covers child support, guidelines, imputation, deviation, and enforcement including the ability-to-pay finding Turner v. Rogers requires. Part 8 covers custody, the best interests standard, parenting plans, and relocation. Parts 9 through 12 cover settlement and drafting, modification and enforcement, worked scenarios, and practice notes by role.
