Hi all. My wife and I have been married 5 years and 2 months, and have decided to get divorced. We are both in agreeance with this, and have no kids. As far as dividing things up, we agree that she gets to keep the condo that we just bought (and that she pretty much paid for, since I've been a student), and that I'll just take what I need and move out.
We pretty much agree on everything, and rather than split stuff up, I'm just going for a clean break and a new start. We both agree with this.
However, looking over all the court documents (trying to do this on our own) there's all of this stuff about division of property and community assets, and this just doesn't fit our situation and would seem to make things much more complicated.
My question is whether there's an 'easy' way to get divorced when you agree on who's keeping what, and when that isn't exactly 50/50, and what that might be.
You can write up division of property any way you want. A judge will review it and ask you, "Do you realize you're getting screwed?" You'll answer, "I'm just going for a clean break and a new start." Since you're not female he'll probably just roll his eyes and sign the paperwork.
Kgrow is right. When there's no fight as to property division and there's no big financial entanglements you're free to sign any agreement you want. It will go to the judge and he'll sign it. Just make sure you're not on the mortgage so it is, indeed, a clean break.
