What is the difference between a disagreement, complaint, dispute, and a conflict?

The Three (3):  disagreement, dispute and conflict can be used interchangeably and denote a quarrel, dissent, or argument.  Each of these terms also denotes differing states of opinion and a lack of consensus or lack of agreement.  A complaint is when someone expresses their disagreement, disapproval, or disappointment.  A complaint can also be a legal document filed with the Court:  for example:  a Complaint for Absolute Divorce or a Complaint for Custody.  A disagreement, dispute, or conflict can be resolved through the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process.
