In [[law]], '''dissolution''' is any of several legal events that terminate a [[legal entity]] or agreement such as a [[marriage]], [[adoption]], [[corporation]], or union.
Line 26 ⟶ 17:
Dissolution is also the term for the legal process by which an [[adoption]] is reversed. While this applies to the vast majority of adoptions which are terminated, they are more commonly referred to as [[disruption (adoption)|disruption]]s, even though that term technically applies only to those that are not legally complete at the time of termination.
 
In [[international law]], dissolution ({{lang-langx|la|dismembratio}}) is when a state has broken up into several entities, and no longer has power over those entities, as it used to have previously; this type of dissolution is identical to [[Dissolution (politics)|dissolution in the political sense]]. An example of this is the case of the former [[Soviet Union|USSR]] dissolving [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|into different republics]].
