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 disruptions, even though that term technically applies only to those that are not legally complete at the time of termination.
In business, dissolution is the process of admitting or removing a partner in a partnership. In the process, a revaluation of the company's assets is conducted to prevent overstating or understating the company's current net value. However, a common practice is to overlook the revaluation stage and allow a "bonus" for either side by going by the value in the books. In addition, there may be other stipulations agreed upon in the company's articles of partnership. Also, if the partnership is located in the United States, then dissolution practices must follow regulations set forth in the Uniform Partnership Act.
In film and video editing, a dissolve is a transition between scenes.

A dissolution (not "dissolutionment") is an agreed termination of a marriage by both parties.
The primary document in a dissolution is called a "separation agreement." The separation agreement is an enforceable contract between the husband and wife and will address the custody of children and related issues, property division and spousal support.
Dissolutions contain three major categories of issues to be decided: the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities (custody), division of marital property, and spousal support.
