To file for dissolution, you need to file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and a Summons for the court to submit to the opposing party. Make sure you include multiple copies of the Petition and Summons, so that the court may keep a copy, and so that your spouse will receive a copy by whatever method of service you choose.

If you would like to ask the court to issue temporary orders regarding custody, child support, or payment of monthly marital debts, you can also file a Praecipe for Provisional Hearing.
