What is an amicable divorce?

An amicable divorce is where a couple decide to end their relationship in an environment of mutual respect and dignity. It is an intention to resolve matters without resentment and hostility, and a desire to avoid an expensive legal battle.

Amicable divorces can deal with all aspects relating to the end of a relationship such as the division of family finances, co-parenting, and arrangements for pets.

Amicable divorces also apply to the dissolution of civil partnerships.
