What are the requirements for an amicable divorce?

An amicable divorce is where a couple work together to end their relationship in a peaceful and respectful manner. The key requirements for a successful amicable divorce are:

Focusing on moving forward, and avoiding past blame and engaging in confrontational behaviour.

A commitment to avoid a court battle by choosing methods of non-court dispute resolution.

Agreeing to keep any children out of any disputes and putting their best interests first.

Being prepared to be honest and transparent when dealing with financial issues and financial disclosure.

Being ready to compromise and finding mutually beneficial solutions rather than wanting to “win”.

Being prepared for some “bumps in the road” with disagreements and setbacks.
