Can my spouse or I resolve issues related to our divorce without filing a lawsuit?

With the exception of obtaining the actual divorce, issues arising from your separation can be resolved outside of court. A lawsuit must be filed to obtain the actual divorce, known as an “absolute divorce”. Additionally, it may be necessary to file a legal action to give a court jurisdiction to enter a court order that is required to divide retirement assets.
