When separation becomes inevitable, an amicable divorce, also known as a mutual consent divorce, is the ideal solution. This collaborative process reduces conflicts, simplifies procedures, and allows you to obtain a court decision quickly.

What is an Amicable Divorce?

An amicable divorce is based on an agreement between the two spouses on the following issues:

Child custody arrangements, whether joint or sole custody, along with visitation and residency rights.

Calculation of child support payments, and potentially spousal support if needed.

Division of marital property, such as the family home if it is not sold.

Other necessary considerations, like debts and the allocation of future expenses.

These agreements are documented in a Consent on Accessory Measures, a precise legal document ensuring that all decisions are made in the best interests of both parties.

Why Choose an Amicable Divorce?

Speed:

Once all documents are gathered, the case can be prepared in a matter of days. If the file is complete, the court can issue the divorce within 3 to 6 months, depending on the court’s schedule and the date of separation.

Controlled Costs:

An amicable divorce is less expensive than a contested divorce. The total cost (negotiations, drafting documents, filing in court) typically ranges from $2500 to $3000, depending on the complexity of the case.

Peace and Confidentiality:

This process minimizes the stress of court confrontations and allows the separation to be handled respectfully and discreetly.

Flexibility:

One spouse can initiate the process alone by preparing the documents. Drafts are then shared with the other party for approval. If both parties cooperate, one meeting is enough to sign the documents together.

Autonomy in Decision-Making:

Unlike judicial divorces where decisions are made by a judge, you retain full control over the decisions that affect your future and your children.
