Dissolution Petition

Overview

CaseMark's Dissolution Petition skill automates the drafting of Petitions for Dissolution of Marriage for filing in any US state family court. It produces a comprehensive, jurisdiction-compliant pleading covering jurisdictional standing, statutory grounds, child custody and support, property and debt division, spousal support, and a properly aligned prayer for relief. The result is a court-ready document that would typically take hours to draft manually.

Drafting a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is one of the most time-consuming tasks in family law practice. Attorneys must navigate varying state residency requirements, cite jurisdiction-specific statutory grounds, address complex custody and property issues, and ensure every element of the prayer for relief is supported by a corresponding allegation — all while complying with local court formatting rules.

CaseMark automates the entire petition drafting process by generating a jurisdiction-compliant dissolution pleading from your client intake information and asset summaries. The AI applies the correct statutory language, structures all required allegations, and produces a court-ready document that you can review, customize, and file — reducing drafting time from hours to minutes.

  2. 2. AI drafts a jurisdiction-compliant dissolution petition with all required allegations

  3. 3. Review and customize custody, support, property, and relief provisions

  4. 4. Export the finalized petition in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Can the petition handle both contested and uncontested dissolutions?

What if my jurisdiction requires specific mandatory forms alongside the petition?

CaseMark flags concurrent filing requirements and mandatory forms for your jurisdiction so you know exactly what additional documents need to accompany the petition. The petition itself is drafted to align with those requirements.

Can I edit the property and debt division sections after generation?

Yes. Every section of the generated petition is fully editable. You can adjust asset characterization, debt allocation, valuation details, and division proposals before finalizing the document for filing.
