The term "divorce process" refers to the legal and administrative procedures involved in ending a marriage. This typically involves filing for divorce, which can be done by either spouse, and then going through negotiations or litigation to determine issues such as child custody, visitation rights, alimony, property division, and support payments. The process may also involve mediation, counseling, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution in an effort to reach a mutually agreeable settlement outside of court. If an agreement cannot be reached, the matter may proceed to trial before a judge who will make decisions on behalf of the parties involved. Ultimately, the goal is for both spouses to reach a fair and equitable resolution that allows them to move forward with their lives separately.
